💛 🍌 Cream Cheese Banana Bread — Soft, Fluffy & Decadent

Instructions

1. Prepare the oven
   Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a loaf pan and set aside.

2. Make the banana bread batter
   In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well. Stir in mashed bananas. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, then fold into the wet mixture until just combined.

3. Prepare the cream cheese filling
   Beat the cream cheese with sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble the loaf
   Pour half of the banana bread batter into the loaf pan. Spoon half of the cream cheese mixture over it. Layer the remaining banana bread batter on top, then finish with the remaining cream cheese. Swirl gently with a knife for a marbled effect.

5. Bake
   Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool and enjoy
   Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and serve — soft, creamy, and utterly irresistible.
