Here’s a delicious recipe for Cream Cheese Stuffed Banana Bread—moist, sweet, and creamy in the center!
Ingredients
For the Banana Bread:
- 2–3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 3/4 cup sugar (can reduce to 1/2 cup for less sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
For the Cream Cheese Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven: 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Make the cream cheese filling: In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
- Prepare banana bread batter:
- In a large bowl, mash bananas.
- Stir in melted butter, sugar, and vanilla.
- Add eggs and mix well.
- Stir in baking soda, salt, and flour until just combined.
- Assemble the loaf:
- Pour half the banana bread batter into the loaf pan.
- Spoon the cream cheese filling over the batter.
- Pour the remaining banana bread batter on top and gently spread to cover the filling.
- Bake: Bake 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the bread (not the cream cheese) comes out clean.
- Cool & serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy!
💡 Tips:
- For extra flavor, sprinkle chocolate chips or chopped nuts over the cream cheese layer before baking.
- Make sure bananas are very ripe—they add natural sweetness and moisture.
If you want, I can also give a quick microwave mug version of cream cheese stuffed banana bread for a single serving. Do you want me to do that?
