Bananas Foster Bread with Cinnamon Butter Rum Glaze

Pin It

Last week we celebrated National Banana Bread Day. And national pancake day... and tortilla day... margarita day... pistachio day and kahlua day. Oh and then we celebrated pancake day again this week (thanks, IHOP). It seems that every food has its own holiday lately. Tomorrow is banana cream pie day. So being late to banana bread day, and early to banana cream pie day, I'll stick to the banana theme and combine two familiar banana desserts - bananas foster and banana bread.

Peanut Butter Glazed Banana Bread

Fall is fast approaching and for me that means the smell of fallen leaves, wood stoves, boots, sweaters and fall foods. One of those fall foods is quick bread... banana, pumpkin, apple, zucchini, no matter the flavor, it's a fall staple.

Since I went a little overboard in buying bananas last week, I had a bunch of brown bananas that needed to be put to good use. I found this recipe for banana bread in a past issue of Cooking Light. I was intrigued by the peanut butter banana combination and the idea of glazing a quick bread. I had to substitute a few of the ingredients due to what I had on hand in the kitchen, so I'm sad to say the bread probably isn't as light as the original.
