Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large egg
1/2 c cup of light brown sugar
1/4 c vegetable oil
1/4 c sour cream or greek yogurt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 c mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large bananas)
1 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
pinch salt,
CREAM CHEESE FILLING
1 large egg
4 oz softened brick-style cream cheese
1/4 c granulated sugar
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour

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

The cream cheese filling is the perfect amount of sweetness. It's not too overpowering and it complements the banana bread perfectly.

I love that this recipe uses overripe bananas. It's a great way to use up bananas that would otherwise go to waste.
