PEANUT BUTTER STREUSEL-TOPPED CREAM CHEESE BANANA-NUT BREAD
Whew! That is some title. The peanut butter topping on this is outstanding. My bananas were very sweet and ripe, so I was able to get away with less sugar in the batter (I used the full amount in the topping though). From Southern Living.

Steps:

- 4. Add walnuts and finish mixing. Divide batter into 2 8 inch loaf pans and set aside.
- 5. Wipe out the bowl used for the flour mixture...Place all topping ingredients and mix well. You can use two knives, a fork or a pastry blender. I prefer to use my hands to fully mix everything up.
- 6. Dived topping and crumble the topping over the batter and pat down slightly, cover whole loaf.
- 7. Bake for 1 hour. Do not over bake. Check for done-ness with a toothpick at center at 1 hour.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough.
- Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller pan will make the bread too thick and dense.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 50-60 minutes.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: The bread can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
