I often have over ripe bananas in my fruit bowl which means it's time to make Banana Bread!

This is an original Donna Hay recipe that I then experimented with adding the cream cheese filling...and it really takes it to another level!

Or you can just make the bread on its own if you like.

Ingredients

Method

Preheat oven to 180.C
Place mashed banana in a large bowl. Add oil, eggs, sugar and vanilla. Mix to combine.
Add flour and cinnamon and mix to combine. Do not over mix.
Grease a loaf tin and line with baking paper. Pour 1/3 of the mixture into tin.
Make cream cheese filling by adding all ingredients into an electric mixing bowl and combine well.
Dot the cream cheese filling over the top then marble with a knife. Add more of the mixture, then the cream cheese layer, then the mixture etc.
Bake 55-60 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer.
Cool in tin 5 minutes then place on a wire rack to cool.
