    This was great - stayed moist and not too sweet. I subbed vanilla extract for the rum and did not add the coconut extract. My new go to banana bread recipe.

    Really liked this tropical take on a banana bread. The coconut was subtle but added a lovely aroma and the texture of the cake was gorgeous. Would make again.

    The texture was great, but we didn't like the flavor. It's weird. You can't taste either the coconut or the rum distinctly, but it's enough that it makes the banana bread taste off. It's like they're all competing for attention. It's just odd. And I love coconut, rum, and banana. It does not work for us.

    Delicious. Moist and cakey. Deep flavor. Came together easily.
