Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cup all purpose flour (280 grams)
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (230 grams)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (56 grams)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
  • 1 cup mashed banana (230 grams)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup pecans toasted and chopped (divided use)
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon mixed with 1 heaping teaspoon sugar optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan. For a taller loaf, use a slightly smaller pan such as an 8x4 or 8 ½ by 4 ½.
  • Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a mixing bowl; set aside.
  • Beat cream cheese, butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add bananas, eggs and vanilla and beat until mixed.
  • Add flour mixture and stir until it is almost mixed in. Add the ¾ cup of the pecans and stir pecans mixed and flour has disappeared - -batter should still be pretty lumpy.
  • Pour into pan. Toss remaining ¼ cup pecans with cinnamon/sugar mixture and sprinkle over top. Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan.
  • Makes 1 loaf
