Ginger Rum Raisin Banana Bread Recipe (healthier)

I cook for myself and my boyfriend, and sometimes small family gatherings. I tend to improvise often but am trying to be more controlled and organized to get consistent results with recipes.

3 large over ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ⅓ to 1 ½ cups mashed)

½ cup brown sugar, packed

2 Tbsp. unsalted butter

3 Tbsp. Dark Rum or Spiced Rum (I use Captain Morgan)

2 large eggs

¼ cup vegetable oil plus ¼ cup applesauce

¼ cup buttermilk (or milk, or yogurt blended with milk)

2 cups flour (Sub any mixture of flour and oat flour, or use half flour and one cup of blended white beans)

½ cup granulated sugar

1 tsp. baking soda

½ tsp. salt

½ tsp allspice or nutmeg

½ tsp. cinnamon

½ tsp. cardamom

½ tsp ginger

½ cup chopped crystallized ginger

½ cup raisin (optional, or you can just use extra ginger or nuts)

subheading: For the glaze:

1 to 2 cups powdered sugar

1 to 2 Tbsp. rum

2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
