Servings: 12 servings
25 cm/10 inch loaf pan

Ingredients 

  • 125 grams unsalted butter
  • 100 grams cream cheese
  • 150 grams caster sugar
  • 3-4 ripe bananas 300-350 grams
  • 2 eggs M
  • 125 ml semi-skimmed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 300 grams all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Combine butter, cream cheese and sugar in a large mixing bowl and mix until creamy.
  • In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until lumpy or smooth (both will work fine).
  • Add eggs, milk and vanilla extract, mix on low speed until combined.
  • Pour the banana mixture in the large bowl with the cream cheese mixture and mix on medium speed until everything is blended.
  • Finally, add the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and pinch of salt. Mix briefly until all the flour is incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the flour dusted baking pan or cake pan lined with parchment paper and bake your cream cheese banana bread at 175 °C/345 °F (convention) for 60-65 minutes or until golden brown and done.
  • Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes. You will see that the sides will loosen and you can easily lift the banana bread out of the pan. Allow to cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
