Nif's Eggnog Banana Bread

Submitted by Nif_H

"I got a new stand mixer for Christmas and I just had to use it! I modified an old banana bread recipe to make it more "festive" and this is what I got! There is not as much banana flavour as typical banana bread but it's there! Also, skip the rum if you want to. I didn't list specific stand mixer instructions, but I did use it on medium to do the mixing. I hope you like it. Enjoy!"

This smells sooo good cooking with the cinnamon/sugar topping! I love the subtle taste and the you can still taste a little banana. Made for PRMR.

Second time I have made this in the last two weeks. Have taken it to three different offices to share and everyone loves it. Different tasting and great idea.

Oh boy is this good bread! The banana flavor is actually very subtle, just adds a nice richness to the eggnog. The cinnamon/sugar topping is perfect for this. I made mine in 5 mini-loaf pans and cooked for 55 minutes. Loved this - thanks for sharing the recipe!

What a wonderful mix of flavors! The rum under tons are a nice surprise when eating this oh so very tasty banana bread. Eggnog is out of season here but did not let that stop me from enjoying this tasty bread because I just used homemade eggnog using Recipe #426272, using the rum option on both the eggnog and the bread recipes. This is a keeper. Thanks for the post.
