Creamy Banana Bread - Little House on the Prairie Living

Creamy Banana Bread

by Merissa on April 13, 2011

I always have bananas in my freezer and I have a pretty good old standby for banana bread and I like to make banana muffins once in a while too. But today I wanted to use up the cream cheese I had in the fridge before my next co-op order comes in and I always wanted to try a banana bread with a crumbly topping, like the muffins I like. So here it is...I'm guessing there won't be any left by the end of the day.

What you need:

  • 1/4 c. butter
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 c. flour
  • 1 mashed banana
  • 3/4 t. baking powder
  • 1/4 t. baking soda
  • 1/3 c. brown sugar
  • 1 T. butter
  • 1 T flour

Mix together the softened butter and cream cheese. Add in the sugar, egg, flour, banana, powder, and soda. Mix all ingredients together well. Pour into a greased bread pan. In a separate small bowl mix together the 1 T butter, 1 T flour, and the brown sugar. Crumble them together with a fork and sprinkle on top of the bread dough. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Sorry for my lack of pictures for this post but I didn't know it would turn out good enough to post!

Thank you. I always have extra bananas, I think I will make this into cup cakes and freeze the extras for when we have last minute guests. The photo looks delicous.

I made this last night and it was super yummy. Very moist. I didn’t do the crumb topping (hubby has an aversion to anything that might get stuck in his mustache/beard) and I added 1/2 c chocolate chips. I’ll definitely keep this recipe in our rotation. Thanks for sharing!

Sounds wonderful! Will be making it tonight. I usually get bananas (very ripe ones) for free from out local grocer. Another great blessing for living in a small town. I also like the idea of adding chocolate chips and maybe even some coconut…..
