Cream Cheese Banana Bread sounds delicious! It’s a moist and rich variation of the classic banana bread, with the cream cheese adding a tangy richness to the flavor. Here’s a simple recipe for it:
Ingredients:
2 to 3 ripe bananas (about 1 ½ cups mashed)
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1 ½ cups sugar (white or brown, depending on your preference)
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt (optional for extra moisture)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Cream together the softened butter and cream cheese in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
Add the sugar and mix until well combined.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
