Reviews
Good recipe, though I wish it had more banana in it. The reviewer who said it’s not a “Passover acceptable recipe” because it has leavening is wrong: leavening itself, even yeast, is fine, which is why wine–grapes fermented by a close cousin to bread yeast–is acceptable (as are yogurt, cheese, and pickles). There are plenty of certified brands of kosher-for-Passover baking sodas and baking powders.
Tastes great but this is not a Passover acceptable recipe. It has leavening in it.
