makes 1 loaf, about 10 servings
Bread:
1 Large Egg
1/2 Cup Light Brown Sugar, Packed
1/4 Cup Sugar
1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
1/4 Cup Sour Cream
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1 Cup Mashed Ripe Bananas (About 2 Large Bananas)
1 Cup AP Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
Cream Cheese Filling:
1 Large Egg
4 oz Cream Cheese, Softened
1/4 Cup Sugar
3 Tablespoons AP Flour
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan, set aside. For the bread - in a large bowl, whisk together egg, sugars, oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Stir in bananas. Add in flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and stir gently until just combined. Don't over mix. For the cream cheese filling - in a separate large bowl beat together egg, cream cheese, sugar, and flour. Pour 2/3 of the bread mixture in the loaf pan. Evenly spread cream cheese mixture over bread mixture and top with the remaining 1/3 bread mixture. Bake about 50 minutes until top is domed, bread is golden and a tooth pick comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes then transfer to a wire cooling rack and let cool completely before slicing.
I am always craving a good banana bread, but throw in a cream cheese filling and I am sold!
