Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 c sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp chai mix (below)
3/4 c mashed bananas (about 2 medium)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
CHAI MIX
2 Tbsp ground ginger
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground cloves
2 1/2 Tbsp ground cardamom
2 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp white pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy.
  • 2. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
  • 3. Add egg beating just until blended.
  • 4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and chai mix; gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until blended.
  • 5. Stir in banana and vanilla. Spoon batter into a greased and floured 8- x 4-inch loaf pan.
  • 6. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean and sides pull away from pan, shielding with aluminum foil last 15 minutes to prevent browning, if necessary. Cool bread in pan on wire racks 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool 30 minutes on wire racks before slicing.
  • 7. For the Chai mix: I make this and keep it on hand to add to smoothies. Combine all ingredients (ground) and keep in an air tight container.

I'm not sure about the chai spices, but I'm willing to give it a try.

This banana bread was a disappointment. The chai spices were overpowering and the cream cheese swirl was too sweet. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This banana bread was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The chai spices were a nice touch, but I think I would have preferred it without the cream cheese swirl.

I'm not usually a fan of banana bread, but this recipe changed my mind. The chai spices and cream cheese swirl made this bread incredibly flavorful and moist. I will definitely be making it again!
