Jamaican Banana Bread

This Jamaican Banana Bread will make you feel like you are in beautiful Jamaica! One of my favorite places to be!

Jamaica is one of my favourite places to visit! I have been there with my husband and my kids a few times now, and met some amazing people! The people that live there are the reason we keep going back, they are so friendly and kind!

I wanted to make this Jamaican Banana Bread and use some of my Jamaican rum in it, that I brought back on my last visit. I love Jamaican rum so I figured this banana bread was sure to be delicious! Don’t worry you don’t have to make it with rum if it’s for kids. If you don’t want to make this with rum you can replace the rum with apple cider.

This was truly one of the best banana bread recipes I have ever tasted! Loved the coconut and the glaze on top. Really made the banana bread delicious! If you can find pina colada flavored yogurt I also recommend using it, as it makes it delicious! You will really enjoy this recipe, definitely a hit!
