Delicious cream cheese banana bread that tastes great right next to a cup of coffee. Easy to make, this banana bread will win your heart.
Hmmm…Cream Cheese Banana Bread is an awesome recipe that any banana bread lover will fall in love with. My husband tried it last night after I made it and he could not stop saying: This is the best banana bread I ever had in my life!”. It is indeed incredible moist and delicious.
In case you don’t care for the cream cheese, I have another recipe of Banana Bread on my blog or you can make this recipe and skip the cream cheese part. Whatever you choose, you are in for a lovely treat!
This recipe has a banana batter layer on the bottom, a mixture of cream cheese, sugar and egg in the middle and another layer of banana batter on top. Everything is baked to perfection and the result is a wonderful coffee bread that everyone will love.
Banana bread with cream cheese is a perfect breakfast on the go, a perfect snack, especially with a cup of coffee. You can also make a double batch and freeze one loaf for later use. I do this sometimes, so I can share with my daughter when she comes to visit.
I also freeze leftover bananas. If I buy too many or they ripe too fast and I do not have time to make a bread right away, I freeze them un-peeled in a freezer safe ziploc bag, for up to 3 months.
Note: Spoon and level the flour into your measuring cup instead of scooping it out of the container. If you scoop your flour out of the container, you can end up with way too much flour in your recipe and a super dense loaf of banana bread.
Enjoy!
