Cream Cheese Banana Bread
- 6 ounces unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 ounces full-fat Greek yogurt or creme fraiche
- 4 bananas, mashed
- 3 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Preheat the oven to 350u0b0 F. Grease two standard-sized metal loaf pans.
- Melt the butter in a large bowl. Add the sugars and whisk well to combine.
- Add the eggs, mixing in each one at a time, then the vanilla and salt.
- Add the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and creme fraiche. If your cream cheese doesn't fully incorporate, and has some lumps, transfer your batter to a stand mixer (or use a handheld electric mixer) and beat on high for a few minutes. The batter will lighten up in color and the lumps should smooth out.
- Add the mashed bananas and mix well.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon if using. Stir until the batter just comes together. If you want to use millet, which gives the bread a wonderful crunch, add it now (you could also use up to a cup of chopped toasted nuts, chocolate chips, or even coconut!).
- Divide the batter evenly between the two pans and bake for about 1 hour, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool before turning out of the pans and slicing.
