Ingredients

For the Bread

For the Sauce

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup dark rum
  • 1 tsp orange zest

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F . Grease or spray with cooking spray a 9 x 4 loaf pan.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, eggs, sugar, melted coconut oil, Greek yogurt, rum extract and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Stir until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. About 1 hour.

Make the Sauce

  • In a small saucepan,over medium heat, melt the butter. Add in the brown sugar and water, stirring to completely dissolve the brown sugar.
  • Cook the mixture until bubbling around the edges, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and carefully stir in the rum and orange zest.
  • Pour 1/2 of the sauce evenly over the warm loaf. Allow the sauce to completely soak in, about 30 minutes. Turn the loaf out of the pan. Slice and serve warm.
