With a caloric breakdown that leans heavily towards carbohydrates, this bread offers a satisfying blend of proteins, fats, and carbs for a well-rounded snack or side. The star of the show is the combination of ripe bananas and aromatic cardamom, which creates a unique twist on the classic banana bread you know and love.

To ensure a moist and flavorful loaf, we've included a special step where raisins are simmered in dark rum before being added to the batter. This infusion not only imparts a rich depth of flavor but also adds a touch of elegance to this otherwise simple and comforting dish.

Don't forget to toast your walnuts and grease your loaf pan to perfection – these small steps make a big difference in the final product. Once baked to golden-brown perfection, let the bread cool slightly before removing it from the pan, and enjoy the warm, fragrant slices with your favorite morning beverage or as a sweet treat in the evening.
