Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with

parchment paper.

Prepare Banana Bread Batter:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the

eggs, one at a time, then stir in the yogurt (or sour cream) and vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Fold in the

mashed bananas until well combined.

Prepare Cream Cheese Filling:

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla

extract, and continue to beat until creamy and well blended.

Assemble the Bread:

Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Spoon the

cream cheese filling over the batter and spread it out carefully, ensuring an even layer.

Pour the remaining banana bread batter over the cream cheese layer and spread it out evenly to

cover the filling.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out

clean or with just a few moist crumbs. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with

aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.

Cool:

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool

completely.
