Cream Cheese–Stuffed Banana Bread
Ingredients
Banana Bread Batter
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup (150 g) brown sugar (or white sugar)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk or sour cream
Cream Cheese Filling
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (50 g) sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Prep
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Make banana bread batter
- In a bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, mix melted butter and sugar.
- Beat in eggs and vanilla.
- Stir in mashed bananas and milk (or sour cream).
- Fold in dry ingredients until just combined.
3. Make cream cheese filling
- Beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
4. Assemble
- Pour half of the banana batter into the loaf pan.
- Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the batter.
- Top with the remaining banana batter, covering the filling.
5. Bake
- Bake 55–65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the banana part comes out clean.
- If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
6. Cool & serve
- Let cool in the pan 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.
Tips
- Use very ripe bananas for best flavor and moisture.
- Add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the banana batter if you like.
- Chill before slicing for clean layers.
If you want, I can also give you a cream cheese–stuffed banana bread with streusel topping or a healthier version that’s still ultra-moist. Just tell me 🍌🧀✨
