I must admit I am not big on breakfast. Italians, in general, don’t have heavy breakfasts. We usually havbreakfastse (espresso) and cookies or a croissant. But I do make an exception for a slice of good banana bread! This Cardamom Rum Banana Bread has quickly become one of my favourites. It tastes delicious, and it makes me think of vacations, fun, and the tropics! I love the hint of rum and the subtle flavour of cardamom in it. If you like banana bread and are looking for something a bit different, look no further, this is the perfect recipe! Enjoy!
