Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas and mix in melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
- For the cream cheese filling, beat together softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, one egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
