This extremely moist banana bread is reminiscent of the popular dessert bananas foster. Mashed bananas with butter and rum…really does it get any better than this? Well, let me assure you it does!

Top this amazing bread with a butter rum glaze and you won’t believe your taste buds! Now comes the best part…it comes from Cooking Light! Oh yeah! All this taste with half the calories! 😀

1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana

1 cup packed brown sugar, divided

6 tablespoons butter, melted and divided

1/4 cup dark rum, divided

1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt

2 large eggs

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup ground flaxseed

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

1/3 cup powdered sugar

How to make Bananas Foster Bread:

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease bottom and sides of one 9 x 5-inch loaf pan; dust with flour, tapping out excess.

Step 2. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, combine banana, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 5 tablespoons butter, and 3 tablespoons rum. Cook over medium heat until mixture begins to bubble. Remove from heat; cool. Place banana mixture in stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add yogurt, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, and eggs. Beat at medium speed until combined.

Step 3. In a medium bowl, combine flour, flaxseed, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and allspice. With the mixer on low, add flour mixture to banana mixture and beat just until blended. ,Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven; cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack. Remove bread from pan; place on wire rack.

Step 4. While the bead is cooling, make the drizzle by combining remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter, remaining 1 tablespoon rum, and powdered sugar; stir until well blended. Drizzle over the warm bread.
