This is actually a bread recipe baked in giant muffins. . . this solves the problem of an underbaked center and over baked exterior! Of course you can bake in a loaf pan, but be sure to adjust your time/temperature.
05In a large bowl beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
06Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
07Add the vanilla extract, rum and spices and beat until blended.
08Alternately add the dry ingredients and the banana mixture to the batter, beating until fluffy.
09Fold the remaining ingredients into the batter.
10Spoon the batter into the pan; bake for 25 -30 minutes; until the bread pulls away slightly from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted comes away clean.
