Caramelized Bananas 
2 Slice bananas in half and coat each side with brown sugar 
19 Add coated bananas to a saucepan and heat on medium until the base of the bananas start to turn golden brown 
4 Pour in half of your measured rum to slightly deglaze the pan, then flip each banana so that the opposite side has a chance to caramelize as well
20 Add the rest of your rum to deglaze once more and then remove the caramelized bananas from the pan to cool completely. 
Cream Cheese Frosting
8 Beat together the softened butter and cream cheese on medium speed until it’s smooth and somewhat fluffy. 
9 Scrape down the sides, then add in the powdered sugar slowly and vanilla paste
10 Place cream cheese frosting in a plastic bag or pastry bag and cut off the tip. Add a dollop of frosting onto each muffin, sprinkle with salted crumble and enjoy!  
Coconut & Rum Caramelized Banana Bread
13 Preheat your oven to 350°F
14 Add flour, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl and whisk until all ingredients are combined. Set aside. 
21 In a separate bowl, mash cooled and caramelized bananas with a fork until the majority of your bananas are smooth in a large bowl. 
23 Add the eggs, melted coconut oil, brown sugar, maple syrup and rum to the mashed bananas. Then add your mixed dries and coconut mixing to combine.  
17 Pour mixture into your 9 x 5 sprayed and buttered loaf pan and bake until a tester comes out clean, about 45-50 minutes. 
22 Allow your bread to cool for about 10 minutes before removing it from the pan and cooling completely. Then top with cream cheese frosting and coconut before enjoying!
