Reduce your contribution to food waste by using up your overripe bananas in recipes like these instead of tossing them. Check out all my ripened banana recipes at the link below!
Preheat your oven to 350°F and prep a standard 9-inch loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper or spraying it with cooking spray.
BANANA BREAD
Peel your bananas and add them to a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the bananas until they are almost liquefied (some lumps are okay!)
Add the oil and brown sugar to the banana and use the fork to beat until well-combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix again to combine.
Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and combine, using a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides to make sure everything is integrated and set aside.
Add the softened cream cheese to a mixing bowl and use a hand mixer on high to whip. Then, add the powdered sugar and whisk until smooth.

Finally, add the egg and beat until smooth.
Let's put it all together! Fill the prepped pan 1/3 of the way with banana bread batter.
FINAL STEPS
Then, add all of the cream cheese filling on top of the banana bread batter.
Finally, add the rest of the banana bread batter on top. You can let it settle naturally (as pictured) or use a knife to swirl through the batter to add even more marbling.
Bake on the top rack for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before slicing into the loaf. Enjoy!
If your bananas aren’t overripe, stick them on a baking tray in their peel and let them sit in the oven while it’s preheating until the peel turns black.
