Instructions

  1. First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, make banana bread batter. Add melted butter, maple syrup, mashed bananas, milk, eggs and vanilla. Stir to combine.
  3. Then add in flour and baking soda. Stir until combined. Set aside.
  4. To make the cream cheese filling, add all ingredients to a stand mixer. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add half the banana bread batter to the lined loaf pan.
  6. Then, drop alternating dollops of banana bread batter and cream cheese filling on top.
  7. Use a knife to swirl these dollops together.
  8. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Finally, remove from oven. Allow bread to fully cool before slicing into.

Notes

  • I used gluten free 1 to 1 flour for this recipe.
  • This recipe can be easily made dairy free.  Use melted coconut oil instead of butter, dairy free milk, and dairy free cream cheese.
  • The banana bread batter will be somewhat thick.
  • Use softened cream cheese, not cold.  Beat the cream cheese filling mixture until no clumps of cream cheese remain.
  • The dollops of banana bread batter and cream cheese filling do not have to be perfect!  They will be swirled together anyway.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow bread to fully cool before slicing and serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
  • This bread freezes well.
