SOUTHERN LIVING'S CREAM CHEESE BANANA BREAD
I get so many rave reviews for this banana bread, courtesy of Southern living. My father-in-law will request this every couple of weeks and I can happily oblige due to the over ripe bananas we have in our home. The cream cheese keeps the bread nice and moist and the pecans are a nice added texture. :) I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. One thing to point out I prefer to use Nucoa Margarine, it doesn't burn, it doesn't contain milk or whey either) In the end..it makes a prettier loaf of bread)

- Pour in the cream cheese filling, making sure to keep it away from the edge of the pan.
- Pour the remaining banana bread batter over the cream cheese filling and smooth the top with a spatula.

AUNT LYNDA'S CREAM CHEESE FILLED BANANA BREAD
Yummy! The filling in this banana bread is a really neat surprise when you first cut into this loaf. We did put some nuts, sugar, and cinnamon on the top of the loaf before baking. We enjoyed it while it was still just a little warm and then again when it was entirely cool. Both were tasty, but we must say we liked it a little...

Steps:
- 1. Directions: 1.Preheat oven to 350F. Spray one 9x5-inch loaf pan with floured cooking spray, or grease and flour the pan; set aside. 2.Bread - In a large bowl, add the egg, brown sugar, coconut oil, sour cream, brown sugar, vanilla, and whisk to combine. 3.Add the bananas and stir to incorporate. 4.Add 1 cup flour, baking powder, baking soda, optional salt, and fold with spatula or stir gently with a spoon until just combined; don't overmix; set aside. 5.Turn about two-thirds of the batter out into the prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula and pushing it into corners and sides as necessary; set aside. 6.Cream Cheese Filling - In a large bowl, add all ingredients and whisk to combine. Alternatively, mix with a hand mixer. 7.Evenly pour filling mixture over the bread, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula and pushing it into corners and sides as necessary. 8.Top with remaining batter, smoothing the top very lightly with a spatula as to not disturb cream cheese layer and pushing batter into corners and sides as necessary. 9.Bake for about 48 to 50 minutes or until the top is domed, golden, and the center is set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Note this is tricky because the cream cheese never gets totally solid so the toothpick test isn't the most accurate. Tip - Tent the pan with a sheet of foil draped over it at the 30 minute-mark if you feel the tops and sides will become too browned before center cooks through. Baking times will vary based on moisture content of bananas, cream cheese, climate, and oven variances. Bake until done; watch your bread, not the clock. 10.Allow bread to cool in pan for about 15 minutes before turning out on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. Optionally, serve bread with Honey Butter, Cinnamon-Sugar Butter, Blueberry Butter, Strawberry Butter, or Vanilla Browned Butter Glaze. Bread will keep airtight at room temperatur
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your banana bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches. A smaller pan will make your banana bread too dense.
- Bake the banana bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will take about 50-60 minutes.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help it to hold its shape.
Conclusion:
Cream cheese banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. It's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With its moist and flavorful crumb and cream cheese swirl, this banana bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
