Our Favorite Banana Bread

Heat oven to 350

5T butter
½ C sugar
½ C brown sugar
2 eggs
1t vanilla
1 ½ C mashed banana
1 ¾ C flour
1 ¾ C flour
1t baking soda
½ t salt
¼ t baking powder
¼ C cream cheese, softened
¼ C milk
1/3 C chopped walnuts


Beat butter, add sugars. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Add bananas and combine. In separate bowl combine dry ingredients. In third bowl combine cream cheese and mix. Add flour mix to bananas alternately with cream cheese mix ending with flour. Add nuts. Pour into greased loaf pan and bake 1 hour 15minutes. Cool on rack 10 minutes before removing from pan.

This is super delish! This is modified from an old recipe from who knows where. My version is simpler and just as fabulous. If you can stand to, hold off on cutting it and wrap in plastic wrap once the loaf is completely cool. It's hard to believe the flavor is even better after it rests over night. We usually devour half and then wrap the rest for breakfast the next day.
