How To Make aunt lynda's cream cheese filled banana bread

  • Mixing sugar, butter, and eggs.
    Step 1
    Mix 1 cup sugar, butter, and 2 eggs.
  • Bananas, salt, baking soda, and sour cream added to the bowl.
    Step 2
    Add bananas, salt, and the baking soda dissolved in sour cream.
  • Adding flour.
    Step 3
    Add 2 cups flour and mix well.
  • Folding in nuts.
    Step 4
    Fold in nuts.
  • Cream cheese filling ingredients combined in a bowl.
    Step 5
    In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese mixture ingredients.
  • Half the banana bread batter in the loaf pans.
    Step 6
    Spread half of the banana batter in two greased and floured pans.
  • Cream cheese mixture spread over the banana bread batter.
    Step 7
    Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the banana batter in both pans.
  • Remaining batter, nuts, and cinnamon sugar added to the loaf pan.
    Step 8
    Spread the remaining banana bread batter on top. PS - I like to sprinkle a few extra nuts on top. Or, sprinkle top with 1 Tbsp sugar mixed with 1/2 tsp cinnamon before baking. Makes a nice crunchy top. But that's totally optional.
  • Baking the banana bread.

    Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Test for doneness.
