RUM AND RAISIN BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Combine the raisins and rum in a small bowl, cover, and leave to sit and soak for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 170ºC (325ºF) and grease and line a 20 x 10 cm (8 x 4 in) loaf tin with non-stick baking paper. Be sure to leave a couple inches of overhang for easy removal.
• Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together into a bowl and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas and melted butter until combined. Add the coconut sugar and vanilla extract and whisk well. Crack in the egg and whisk until fully incorporated.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir together until combined.
• Tip in the rum-soaked raisins and any remaining liquid. Fold in well.
• Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Leave the loaf to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
• In a small saucepan, whisk together the flour and milk over a medium-low heat until slightly thickened. It should be able to lightly coat the back of a spoon.
• Remove the mixture from the heat and whisk in the agave syrup, salt, vanilla extract, and rum.
• Strain the glaze through a metal sieve to remove any excess flour lumps. Allow to cool to room temperature and thicken slightly before pouring the glaze over the cooled banana bread.

SUPER MOIST RUM & RAISIN BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, place the sultanas (or raisins) and add the dark rum (or bourbon). Bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Remove the saucepan from heat, cover with its lid. Let it sit for at least an hour, or until almost all the rum (or bourbon) has been absorbed into the sultanas (or raisins). Drain the excess liquor.
• Pre-heat the oven to 170 deg C (or 325 deg F). Grease and line a loaf tin (23 x 13 x 7 cm / 9 x 5 x 3 inches) with baking paper.

Then, with a wooden spoon, stir in the pecans (or walnuts), drained sultanas (or raisins) and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour mixture, a third at a time, combining well after each third.
• Pour out into prepared tin . Bake in the middle of the oven for 1 to 1 1/4 hours. At the end of 1 hour, test with a metal or bamboo skewer inserted into the centre of the loaf. If the skewer comes out with wet dough, continue to bake for another 5 minutes, and test again. Repeat every 5 minutes until skewer comes out somewhat clean of sticky batter. Leave in the tin on a rack to cool. Slice thickly or thinly as desired, and serve warm.
