Cheesecake Banana Bread
Description
This Cheesecake Banana Bread starts with ripe mashed bananas mixed into a batter of flour, baking soda, salt, sugar, melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla, and eggs. The cream cheese filling blends softened cream cheese with flour, sugar, and an egg yolk to create a smooth, rich layer that is swirled between two layers of banana batter in a loaf pan. Baking at moderate heat produces a golden crust and moist inside.
The final bread presents a tender structure from the ripe bananas and buttermilk with creamy, slightly tangy cheesecake in the middle, creating a distinct contrast in both taste and texture. Serving slices can highlight the layered filling.
The batter can be adapted for loaf pans by properly buttering and flouring. Timing the bake so a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean ensures a fully cooked bread without overbaking. This recipe is adapted from Delish.
Ingredients
Banana Bread Batter
- 1/2 cup butter melted, plus more for greasing the loaf pan (1 stick or 4 oz. (113g) butter, unsalted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour plus more for dusting the loaf pan
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 2 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk divided
- 3 banana 480 g (17 oz, ripe
Cream Cheese Filling
- 4 oz (113g) cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C) and butter and flour a 9"x5" loaf pan. In a bowl, mash the bananas with a masher and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In another large bowl, combine 3/4 cup sugar, melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla extract, 1 egg, and 1 egg yolk. Mix until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until combined, then fold in the mashed bananas.
- To make the cream cheese filling, combine the remaining egg, cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of flour, and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl. Stir until well blended and smooth.
- Transfer half of the banana bread batter to the prepared loaf pan. Then, dollop the cream cheese filling on top and smooth it into an even layer using a spatula. Finally, pour the remaining batter over the cream cheese filling, spreading it evenly to cover.
- Bake the banana bread until it's deeply golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Once done, let it cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Ensure the loaf pan is well greased and floured to prevent sticking.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean for best doneness.
- This recipe is adapted from Delish, maintaining a balance between banana sweetness and cream cheese richness.
