Looking for that perfect Banana Bread? Just right for breakfast, dessert, or an afternoon snack? This is not your simple, quick and dirty banana bread. But the end result? There is nothing the Sourdough Foster.

It seems like one thing that COVID-19 has everyone doing is making banana bread. I’ve tried out a few recipes. Made some up, and modified some others. This is my favorite. It combines a little bit of Banana Foster, with a texture you can only get from sourdough. So good.

What do you need for the Sourdough Foster?

This ingredient list is a bit longer than I usually go with, but everything in this comes together like you won’t believe. You can mess with the spices a little if you don’t have allspice on hand, and while the ground flax adds a layer to the texture that I love, it isn’t 100% essential. And if you don’t have sprouted grain flour, whole wheat will work as well.

• 2 Bananas, mashed
• 1 cup Dark brown sugar – divided
• 5 Tbsp butter
• 1/4 cup spiced rum
• 1/3 cup plain yogurt
