This recipe marries the comfort of banana bread with the bold flavors of dark rum and ginger for a truly delightful treat.
Begin by combining mashed ripe bananas, dark rum, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Mix until well incorporated.
To the banana mixture, add melted unsalted butter and eggs. Stir until everything is blended together.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until you have a smooth batter. Stir in vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.
Pour the Dark and Stormy Banana Bread batter into a prepared loaf pan and bake until it's beautifully golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for a while, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
