Cream Cheese Banana Bread Recipe

This Cream Cheese Banana Bread Recipe is a must have recipe for ripe bananas. What I love most about this recipe is no mixer is required, just a good ole’ wooden spoon will do the job! I love this recipe but I don’t get to make it often because I cannot keep bananas long enough — my little monkeys eat them too fast.  When I do make this delicious banana bread it will be gone fast because my hubby and I can’t stop eating it.  It is a great snack or breakfast treat.

If you have overripe bananas you are sure to love this easy recipe!  It is great just as it is.  I love it warm out of the oven or even with a little jam.  Of course if you add chocolate chips you won’t be disappointed!  It would make a great brunch recipe too! Did you know you can freeze bananas?  That is a great tip for over ripe bananas or bananas that you find on managers special.

Cream Cheese Banana Bread Recipe is one of my favorites to make and enjoy! I like it for breakfast or with an afternoon tea. Be sure to give it a try!
