Step-by-Step Instructions (Rewritten Smoothly)
Step 1: Prepare the batter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just blended — don’t overmix.
Step 2: Make the cream cheese layer
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar, egg, and vanilla until creamy and smooth. This will be your rich, cheesecake-style filling.
Step 3: Layer it up
Pour half of the banana batter into your loaf pan.
Spoon the cream cheese filling evenly over the top, spreading gently to cover.
Then pour the remaining banana batter over the cream cheese layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 4: Bake to perfection
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean (a little creaminess from the filling is okay). If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with foil halfway through baking.
Step 5: Cool and serve
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing. Serve slightly warm or chilled — both are divine!
Step 4: Closing
Every slice of this Cream Cheese Stuffed Banana Bread delivers the perfect balance of sweet banana and velvety cheesecake. It’s the kind of bake that disappears fast — whether you serve it for brunch, dessert, or as a little comfort treat with coffee.
Once you try it, plain banana bread will never be enough again. 🍌💛
