How to Make Cream Cheese Banana Bread

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 350F grease and flour 2-8"x4" loaf pans.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside
Using an electric mixer, beat together butter and cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add sugar mixing until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until blended.
Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating on low speed until blended. Stir in bananas, pecans and vanilla extract.
Divide batter evenly into prepared pans.
To make the topping, combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over batter in both loaf pans.
Bake 1 hr, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. If necessary, cover pans loosely with foil for the last 15 minutes to prevent excess browning.
Cool breads in pan on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans to cool completely.
