Cream Cheese Banana Bread

By

Baking times will vary based on the bananas you use and their moisture content. It will also vary by climate, elevation, etc. So keep an eye on the bread rather than the timer.
The toothpick trick will not work well because the cream cheese will never set up completely. Instead, give it a jiggle, and see if the center wiggles much.
Bread will keep at room temp for a week, or in freezer for up to 6 months if packaged appropriately.
