Ingredients
1/2cupbutter, softened
1(8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 1/4cupswhite sugar
2eggs
2very ripe, peeled bananas
1teaspoonvanilla extract
2 1/4cupsbread flour(or all-purpose if that's all you have)
3teaspoonsbaking powder
1tablespoonbrown sugar
1tablespoonground cinnamon
Instructions
Add the butter and cream cheese together in a medium electric mixer mixing bowl. Start mixing the butter and cream cheese together on low speed so that you don't get little bits flying all over the place. Turn up the speed to medium and beat until creamy. Gradually add the white sugar until well mixed about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and beat on medium speed for another minute. Add bananas and vanilla and beat on medium until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Remove mixing bowl from electric mixer and gently fold in flour and baking powder until batter is moist.
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon.
Add half the batter to a greased and floured 10x5 inch loaf pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the batter then top with remaining batter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes then cover with aluminum foil and bake for another 10 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. If you take a peek at the bread in the oven at about 40 minutes and the top looks like it's getting to brown, go ahead and cover it with aluminum foil then.
Notes
This bread should last a few days if it's covered and stored in a cool place. Enjoy!
