Ingredients

Scale

Bread: 

  • 1 cup 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
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup flour

Instructions

Heat oven to 350 degrees. 

Combine softened cream cheese, 1 egg, 3/4 cup flour, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Mixture will be thin. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, combine 1 egg, 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. Batter will be thick. 

Pour batter into a greased loaf pan

Spoon cream cheese mixture on top of the batter. 

Using a butter knife or small spatula, make a few big swirls in the bread to combine the cream cheese mixture with 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!
