Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 8 1/2- by 4 1/2-inch loaf pans with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese and sugar until very light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, vanilla and bananas.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined.
  4. In a small bowl, mash together the topping ingredients until combined and crumbly.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle with the topping.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the bread is nicely domed and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  7. Remove from the oven and let rest in the pans for 5-10 minutes before turning out on a cooling rack to cool completely.
