Sweet Bread (Barbados) image

This recipe is from week 23 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Barbados is my 23rd stop. I served this as a dessert, but Bajans usually have it as a snack with a cup of hot tea.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds in this recipe. It worked perfectly!

This bread is a delicious way to use up leftover fruit. I used a mix of berries and bananas, and it turned out great.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread didn't turn out as moist as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This bread is a little too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This bread is a great make-ahead breakfast or snack. I love to slice it and freeze it, then pop a slice in the toaster when I'm in a hurry.
