This easy chocolate cream cheese banana bread – with its big swirls of cream cheese – is the perfect excuse to have chocolate for breakfast.
Bread:
1 ¼ cups flour
½ cup sugar
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 egg
3 ripe bananas, mashed
¼ cup oil
1 tsp vanilla
Filling:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 egg
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup flour
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine cream cheese, 1 egg, ¼ cup flour, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine 1 egg, milk, mashed bananas, oil and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Pour batter into a greased loaf pan.
Spoon cream cheese mixture on top of the batter.
Using a butter knife or small spatula, gently swirl the cream cheese mixture into the batter. Don’t over swirl or the cream cheese will disappear into the batter.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Enjoy your Chocolate Cream Cheese Banana Bread!
