The recipe seemed like it could be quirky enough to turn out great. It did not. Why add jello (additional sugar and food coloring) to a recipe that was perfected long ago? Jello does not add any desirable flavor; instead, it changes the taste of bananas, it mutes that taste and mixes it with jello. It does not work. Besides that problem, the color of jello in banana bread looks like someone got sick. I cut up the red-ish loaf and gave it to our family pig. He loved it.
