Also known as The Banana Bread Man’s Banana Bread, this recipe was inspired by a man in Florida who used to ride around on a bike selling banana bread. The original version is a spice bread with bananas, chocolate chips and several types of dried fruit. I didn’t have the dried fruit, so I just doubled the chocolate chips and re-named it Spiced Chocolate Chip Rum Banana Bread.

Low and Slow Bake

As far as banana bread goes, this one’s good but a little different. The bread is baked at a low temperature so it gets nice and brown. Also, the rum and spice flavor is discernible so kids (and banana bread traditionalists) may not love it as much as regular banana bread. However, the chocolate does add extra appeal and gives it a more dessert-like quality.

Banana Bread Man Version

I recently made a loaf of this and tried to get it closer to the original Banana Bread Man recipe by adding dates, nuts, and dried fruit. I still didn't have the cashews or the apricots, but I used chopped Medjool dates, a whole lot of walnuts and miniature chocolate chips. The bread had the same soft and tender texture, plus a few more flavors and textures from the add-ins.

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 270 grams
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 stick stick unsalted butter softened (114 grams)
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar 200 grams
  • 2 extra-large extra-large eggs 100 grams (
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup dark rum
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 cups mashed bananas 4 to 5 Medium banana
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour an 8 ½ by 4 ½ inch loaf pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt, then whisk in the cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
  • In a large bowl beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla extract, rum and sour cream. Beat until blended. Add flour mixture and stir until blended, then stir in bananas. Lastly, stir in the chocolate chips. Batter should be fairly thick.
  • Spoon the batter into the pan; bake for 10 minutes at 350. Reduce the temperature to 300 degrees and bake for 80 minutes until the bread pulls away slightly from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted comes away clean. I use a meat thermometer and take it out when it has reached at least 205 degrees.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then loosen from edge of pan and let cool completely.
