“I'm not a big banana bread fan, but this recipe is addicting and phenomenal! You cannot stop yourself, especially when warm. I shared with my coworkers, who then nicknamed me "Patty Crocker." Mahalo Jess, for another amazing recipe!” — a cook, 5.0★
“Outstanding, and I live in Oahu, so I appreciate anything Hawaiian. I will be making this a lot. I made it in a 8 by 8 square cake pan, baked it for 50 minutes at 350. LOVE it, thank you.” — a cook, 5.0★
