Best Banana Cream cheese Bread

The world has seen more than enough banana bread this year.Here is another one for you – my recipe of the best banana cream cheese bread with banana cream. Banana is the most common and easy available fruit in the entire world!! Yes, which is why most of us consume them – And also bananas are a healthy source of fiber, potassium and other anti-oxidants.

Like all banana bread recipes, this recipe also uses overripe bananas and in addition uses one perfectly ripe banana for the frosting. Speaking of overripe bananas, I have a few recipes in my blog – check them out and here below is one more.

This banana cream cheese bread is an one bowl recipe, so easy to make and is a good change from the regular banana bread if you are a baker. The recipe uses in cream cheese in three ways. In the batter, inside the loaf as chunks and in the frosting. How more exciting can a recipe can become – Every time you see a chunk of cream cheese and take a bite, the cheese will melt in your mouth. The salt and sweet will sing awesome notes in your mouth!!

So, the recipe includes an amazingly easy, luscious banana cream cheese frosting drizzled on top which is optional – but guys, I would love for you all to try it. It is easy, delicious and so very banana-y I have no words to describe it other than heavenly.
