How to make cream cheese banana bread.

The recipe for this banana bread is really easy and quick to prepare. First, you need to have about 2 medium ripe bananas that you can simply mash with a fork. 

For the banana cake batter, you don’t need special utensils, a whisk and a bowl are just enough. Mix egg with both white and brown sugar, add butter, vegetable oil, sour cream and vanilla. Mix in banana puree and incorporate dry ingredients. It is really quick and ready in a matter of minutes. For the banana batter, I like to use both butter and oil for this recipe. The oil for extra moisture and butter for its great flavor.

Once the banana batter is prepared, quickly mix the cream cheese filling ingredients. Pout about two-thirds of the banana batter into a parchment paper-lined loaf pan. Add the cream cheese filling and cover with the remaining banana batter. Swirl with a knife. 

At this point, if you like, you can add walnuts or pecans on top of the cake to add more texture and flavor. 

Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool before slicing it.
