Print Recipe

Prep Time 30

Cook Time 45

Total Time 1 30

Servings 1 loaf

Ingredients

For Bread

2 Smashed Bananas
¼ Cup Sour Cream Substitute: Plain or Vanilla Greek Yogurt
1 Egg
1 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
¼ Cup Vegetable Oil Substitute: Olive or Coconut Oil
1 Tbsp Vanilla Bean Paste Substitute: Vanilla Extract
1 cup All-Purpose Flour
½ tsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Baking Soda
¼ tsp Salt

For Cream-Cheese Filling

1 Egg
½ Cup Granulated/White Sugar
4 oz Cream Cheese (Half of a Cream Cheese Brick)
3 tbsp All-Purpose Flour

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉
Prepare a loaf pan by spraying it with cooking spray.
Mix the bread's wet ingredients (Bananas, Sour Cream, Egg, Dark Brown Sugar, Vegetable Oil, Vanilla Bean Paste).
Add dry ingredients (Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Salt) until combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese filling ingredients (Egg, Sugar, Cream Cheese, Flour).
Fill the bread pan with a little over half of the bread batter & set aside.
Using a spoon or a spatula, place the cream cheese mixture over the bread batter in the bread pan in dollops. Spread evenly, being sure not to push the filling down.
Add the rest of the bread filling on top of the cream cheese mixture to the bread pan.
Place the bread pan on the center rack of your preheated oven & bake for 45 minutes. If the bread still needs more time to cook, check on it 5 minute increments.
