  2. how very tropical of you, pam! one of my favorite combinations of all is white chocolate and coconut, and i can pass this off as breakfast!

  3. I made these today and they were absolutely delicious! This is now my favorite recipe for banana bread, which is saying something, because my original favorite tasted like it was made up of 50% chocolate chips and 50% banana bread. 🙂 Thank you for the amazing recipe!!

  4. This was an excellent recipe – my only addition was to add 1/2 cup chopped pecans (because nuts tasted great in most bakes!). We ate it for breakfast, afternoon snack and dessert! Thank you!
