Instructions Cream Cheese Banana Bread
Follow these simple instructions to bake your own banana bread:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and cream cheese until light and fluffy.
- Add the mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can result in dense bread.
