Cream Cheese Banana Bread Recipe

Name: Cream Cheese Banana Bread
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 6 ounces unsalted butter; 1/2 cup sugar; 3/4 cup brown sugar; 2 eggs; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 4 ounces cream cheese, softened; 4 ounces full-fat Greek yogurt or creme fraiche; 4 bananas, mashed; 3 cups flour; 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda; 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Servings: persons

6 ounces unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 ounces full-fat Greek yogurt or creme fraiche
4 bananas, mashed
3 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0 F. Grease two standard-sized metal loaf pans.
2
Melt the butter in a large bowl. Add the sugars and whisk well to combine.
3
Add the eggs, mixing in each one at a time, then the vanilla and salt.
4
Add the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and creme fraiche. If your cream cheese doesn't fully incorporate, and has some lumps, transfer your batter to a stand mixer (or use a handheld electric mixer) and beat on high for a few minutes. The batter will lighten up in color and the lumps should smooth out.
5
Add the mashed bananas and mix well.
6
Add the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon if using. Stir until the batter just comes together. If you want to use millet, which gives the bread a wonderful crunch, add it now (you could also use up to a cup of chopped toasted nuts, chocolate chips, or even coconut!).
7
Divide the batter evenly between the two pans and bake for about 1 hour, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool before turning out of the pans and slicing.
