Rustic Banana Bread with Dark Chocolate & Rum

A rich, homemade banana bread with warm notes of rum and brandy, dark chocolate, and a flaxseed egg for a soft, tender crumb.

Ingredients

3 very ripe bananas, mashed

1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup sugar

1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but recommended)

1 tablespoon Jamaican rum

1 tablespoon brandy

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

½ cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Prepare the flax egg
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.

Preheat the oven
Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

Mash the bananas
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth.

Add the wet ingredients
Stir in the melted butter, sugar, flax egg, vanilla extract, rum, and brandy. Mix until well combined.

Add dry ingredients
Sprinkle in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.

Fold in chocolate
Add the dark chocolate chips and fold them evenly into the batter.

Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.

Cool and serve
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before removing. Slice and enjoy warm.

Tip:
The rum and brandy give the bread a subtle warmth and depth of flavor. If you want a stronger flavor, brush a tiny splash of rum over the top of the warm loaf after baking.
