Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Pecans or walnuts, chopped
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 0.25 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mash the bananas and mix in melted butter, vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts and set the batter aside.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan, then spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the batter. Gently top with the remaining banana bread batter.
To make the peanut butter streusel, mix together the brown sugar, 0.25 cups of all-purpose flour, creamy peanut butter, and cold cubed butter in a small bowl. Use a fork or your fingers to create a coarse crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the peanut butter streusel evenly over the top of the banana bread batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the streusel begins to brown too much, tent the loaf with aluminum foil halfway through baking.
Let the banana nut bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
