This Banana bread is so awesome! Has that amazing rum taste that I absolutely love!! You have to try it! I cut the fat in a couple of places, and for lack of fat; it might dry after the 2nd day… so keep it well wrapped or even better, eat it the same day!

Ingredients:
-          2 ripped smashed bananas
-          ½ cup brown sugar
-          4 Tbsp. of butter
-          3 Tbsp. of rum
-          ½ cup splenda for baking
-          1/3 cup of non fat yogurt (greek works great!)
-          ¼ cup of egg beaters
-          1 egg
-          1 ½ cup All purpose flour
-          ¼ cup of ground flaxseed
-          ¾ tsp of baking soda
-          1 tsp of cinnamon
-          ½ tsp of ground all spice
-          ½ tsp salt
-          ½ cup of cranberries
-          ½ cup of powder sugar
-          1 Tbsp. of butter
-          1 Tbsp. of rum

In a saucepan, put the butter to melt at medium heat, once melted, add bananas, brown sugar and rum. Let boil till bubbly.
Bring banana mixture to the mixer and add egg, egg beaters, splenda and yogurt. Mix till well combined about a minute or two.
Sift together the rest of the ingredients except the cranberries.  Add the dry ingredients to the mixer and beat at low until everything is combined. (about 20 strokes)
Fold cranberries!

Bake in a 9x5 loaf pan, coated with cooking spray and a little bit of flour. Bake for about 45min to 1 hour at 350°F until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
You can sprinkle with some walnuts but this will add fat!

In a microwave safe dish, melt the next Tbsp. of butter, once melted; mix it with the powder sugar and the rum.  Pour it over the warm bread!! Yummmmmm
