Cream Cheese filled Banana Bread

By TrayH

Delicious banana bread is made even more scrumptious by layering the middle with sweet cream cheese! Love this recipe!

Ingredients

• CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE:
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 3 mashed ripe bananas
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 tablespoon sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cup flour
• 1 cup nuts, chopped
• 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon flour

Preparation

Step 1

Mix 1 cup sugar, butter & 2 eggs. Add bananas, salt, the soda dissolved in sour cream, vanilla & 2 cups flour. Mix well and add nuts. Divide 1/2 of this mixture into 2 greased & floured loaf pans.

Combine cream cheese mixture ingredients and spread over mixture in pans. Spread remaining banana bread batter on top.

Note: I like to sprinkle a few extra nuts on top or sprinkle top with 1 tablespoon sugar mixed with 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon before baking. Makes a nice crunchy top. But that's totally optional.

Bake at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 1 hour. Test for doneness.

Cool and slice. Makes a lovely presentation.
