Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup chopped walnuts
• 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
• 1 piece large egg (for filling)
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 0.25 cup light brown sugar (for streusel)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel)
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (cold, diced, for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and melted butter until combined.

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the banana mixture, whisking well until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts.

Step 5

To prepare the cream cheese filling, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and egg until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

To make the streusel topping, combine the flour, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Add the cold, diced butter and use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the batter. Top with the remaining batter, smoothing the surface gently.

Step 8

Sprinkle the cinnamon streusel topping evenly over the loaf.

Step 9

Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the streusel starts to brown too quickly, tent the bread with aluminum foil during the final 15 minutes of baking.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your Crispy Cinnamon Streusel Banana Nut Cream Cheese Bread!
