Coconut Rum Banana Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Beat the margarine and brown sugar together until fluffy.
• Add the egg, beating until smooth.
• Stir in the mashed bananas and rum.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir the flour, salt and baking soda together.
• Gradually stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is moistened and blended.
• Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Spoon the batter into the loaf pan, spreading the top until smooth.
• Bake at 350 for one hour.
• Place loaf pan on cooling rack for 10 min's then remove loaf and continue to cool to room temperature.
• Banana bread is always better the day after it is made.
• Store in a loose plastic bag, loaves do not like to be in sealed bags.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine butter and sugar; mix well. Add eggs and extracts; beat on high speed until thickened. Stir in bananas. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to banana mixture. Fold in the chocolate, coconut and pecans. Transfer to two greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 70-75 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease two 8x4 inch loaf pans.
• Beat together 2 tablespoons of softened butter and cream cheese in a large bowl until fluffy. Slowly beat in sugar until well incorporated. Add the egg and mix well. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. In a different bowl, mix together the bananas, milk, 2 tablespoons rum, lime zest, lime juice, and vanilla extract; stir well. Pour 1/3 of the flour mixture into the butter and mix well. Mix in 1/2 of the mashed bananas. Continue with another 1/3 of the flour, followed by the remaining banana mixture, and finally the remaining flour. Fold in 1/4 cup pecans and 1/4 cup coconut flakes.
• Pour the mixture into the loaf pans, and bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about one hour. When finished, cool for 10 minutes in the pan, remove, and finish cooling on a wire rack.
• After you take the banana bread out of the oven, prepare the topping by stirring together the brown sugar, remaining butter, lime juice, and 2 teaspoons of rum in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer stirring constantly; cook until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about one minute. Remove from heat, and stir in 2 tablespoons pecans, and 2 tablespoons coconut. Spoon this topping over the loaves while they are still warm. The topping will harden slightly when the loaf cools.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Mix oil and sweeteners until creamed.
• Add the egg.
• Add Malibu and bananas and mix well.
• Mix flour, soda, and salt together.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, and mix only until moistened.
• Pour batter into a greased loaf pan. Spread evenly.
• Bake for 1 hour, until a tester (toothpick or thin knife blade) comes out clean. After cooling for 10 min, remove from pan and cool on a rack.
• *A note on Xylitol: Xylitol is a great option for people who want to cut calories (it has 40% less calories than sugar). It is not an artificial sweetener; it is what gives berries their sweet taste. It doesn't cause a "sugar rush." It also helps fight calories. Xylitol may be used as a 1:1 substitute for sugar. However, Xylitol is EXTREMELY TOXIC FOR YOUR PETS, so please do not share Xylitol treats with your furry friends.
