Great, sweeter version of banana bread from Central America.Had to make this for an elementary school presentation and all of the kids loved it. Nice and moist bread. Got from http://www.roatanonline.com/caribbean_recipes.htm. The recipe also calls for pecans and a lime/rum icing, but i omitted both of these. For the original recipe, visit the above link
