Equipment

  • 8x4-inch loaf pan

Ingredients
  

For the banana bread

  • 2 to 3 bananas very ripe, peeled (about 1 ¼ to 1 ½ cups mashed)
  • ⅓ cup melted butter unsalted or salted
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch salt
  • ¾ cup sugar (½ cup if you want it less sweet, 1 cup if you want it sweeter)
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

For the cream cheese filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour

Instructions
 

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 4x8-inch loaf pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until completely smooth. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
  • Mix in the baking soda and salt. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour.
  • In another bowl, beat together all the ingredients for the cream cheese filling with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer.
  • Pour half of the banana bread batter in the loaf pan. Top the batter with half of the cream cheese filling, one dollop at a time. Top with remaining batter. Top with the remaining cream cheese filling one dollop at a time.
  • Insert a butter knife about halfway into the batter and run through the batter vertically and horizontally to swirl the cream cheese into the banana bread batter.
  • Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Cool the banana bread for a few minutes in the pan, then remove from pan and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Store covered at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Notes

If the top starts to brown too much before the middle is done, tent the top with foil.
