I made this bread before we left to see “Hunter Killer”. If you love action movie, this is definitely action-packed. I love Gerald Butler’s movies.
The movie theater is ½ a mile to our house so instead of grabbing a bite somewhere else we decided to go home and have the banana bread.
As soon as I opened the house door, we were greeted with the sweet fragrant aroma of the rum banana bread. Oh it was so light, moist and delicious. Coffee and this bread is yum! Hope you like it too. Enjoy!
