    This turned out just ok. The flavor of the cream cheese layer was rather lost and the only taste was that of the banana. The baking time was more like 70 minutes, 20 more than stated in the recipe. I will just stick with my regular banana bread recipe.

    • 7 years ago

    Very moist and delicious. I will make this again.

    • 7 years ago

    cream cheese sank to the bottom so next time I will put it on top and swirl the mixture in. it’s not a bad recipe. very good. thanks for sharing

    • 6 years ago

    banana bread and cheese danishes had a baby and it’s delicious!! think next time I’ll add more sugar to the cream cheese mixture, but this is a new fave

    • 6 years ago

    I’ve made this recipe twice, it is so good. Think it helps to use a 9X5 GLASS baking dish. And the temp in your oven is correct. Might want to invest in an oven thermostat.
    The second time I made it, I didn’t put enough dough mixture on the bottom. It didn’t raise as well as the first time I made it. Did not change a thing. I’m making it again tomorrow. Will make sure that I do it like I did the first time. thanks for the recipe. It’s going to be made at Christmas time for our neighbors.

    • 6 years ago

    A neat (and easy) addition to banana bread. I even had to share the recipe with the neighbor.

    • 6 years ago

    Made it, turned out a little too moist which caused the bread to fall apart , Baking time was set at 1 hr. I’ll make again but with a few adjustments to perfect.

    • 6 years ago

    Amazing recipe, everyone loves it, made a few slight changes but always good, made it two days again and now making 3 more

    • 6 years ago

    Made muffins with recipe. Was a big hit with family and friends.

    • 6 years ago

    Yum, yum, and yum. This loaf isn’t as high as other loaf recipes, but who cares?! It tastes amazing! Very moist. The sour cream flavor doesn’t come through or make it taste ‘sour’. My guess is it’s used for moisture. The cream cheese filling is light and almost bread-like with the addition of the 3 Tbsp flour. So it’s not like a cheese Danish with a big blob of cream cheese in the middle. It’s absolutely perfect. The only change I made was a few swipes of fresh nutmeg on the microplane, just because.

    • 5 years ago

    I made this with some super ripe bananas and it turned out amazing! It does need a good 20 min longer to bake than this recipes instructs, but wow! I also sprinkled some brown sugar on top and it really put it over the top!

    • 5 years ago

    Perfect recipe!!!!

    • 5 years ago

    I used Pamela almond flour and swerve and brown sugar swerve. Cut the carbs in half and sugar free. Paleo friendly..

    • 5 years ago

    Delicious. it is quite sweet. The cream cheese filling is smooth and is a delightful addition to banana bread. I added about 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. I used a round 4 cup pyrex bowl. It was not big enough so I put part of the batter in another Pyrex bowl and cooked them for about 45 minutes. It came out perfect. Moist and crisp at the same time.

    • 5 years ago

    This banana bread cream cheese recipe is absolutely delicious! I prepared exactly as the recipe instructions and added walnuts to the bottom of the first layer. Everyone loved it! I?m looking forward to making it again soon!

    • 5 years ago

    Hands down the best banana bread I’ve ever made, and I am super picky! It is moist, flavorful, with just the right balance of sweetness. I doubled the recipe and made a loaf with half and 20 muffins with the other half. Both were incredibly delicious. After 25 years of cooking my search for the perfect banana bread recipe has finally ended!

    • 5 years ago

    It is very moist and yummy but the cream cheese disappears in there. Next time I’m going to try increasing the cream cheese.

    • 5 years ago

    This was an easy recipe to follow. My girlfriend was asking me to make it and she absolutely loved it. The only thing I changed was I double the vanilla extract I used.i will definitely be making this again.

    • 5 years ago

    Perfect!

    • 4 years ago

    Amazing! Baked approximately 45 minutes and my family devoured it in 2!

    • 4 years ago

    I have to admit, I almost never follow a recipe exactly. This was no exception. I wanted to get rid of more bananas, so I used 2 large and 1 smaller. Also, I don’t even buy light brown sugar, so dark it was. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. The extra banana made a dense, moist bread which was fine by me, but might be denser than you would like.

    This turned out EXCELLENT. When I had a still-warm piece, I thought the cream cheese filling was pretty tasteless, but it improved after cooling. I still may add a little extra sugar and maybe a few drops of lemon juice next time. I did add a couple drops of vanilla to it.

    It was fairly easy to make and I had all the ingredients without having to go out and buy anything special. This is definitely going into my favorite recipes folder!

    • 4 years ago

    3-3-2020 made this today very simple. I added walnuts to the bread part.

    • 4 years ago

    made as written and it was perfect.

    • 4 years ago

    Made this per recipe instructions. Came out a little flat on top, but was delicious! Love the cream cheese layer.

    • 4 years ago

    This was so yummy and easy to make! I used 3 bananas instead of 2. It came out a little mushy on the top so I’d recommend leaving it in the oven a bit longer but that may just be because I don’t have the greatest oven. Overall it’s a delicious recipe that I will definitely be making again.

    • 4 years ago

    Really enjoyed this. The addition of the cream cheese added a nice creaminess to the cake. Will definitely make again. One note- take your picture as soon as you take it out if the oven. Mine seemed to deflate after it had cooled a bit!

    • 4 years ago

    Sour cream layer is tasteless and has a gummy texture, definitely not worth the effort.

    • 4 years ago

    I liked it a lot! It wasn’t super impressive but I was happy with the results

    • 4 years ago

    At about 240 ft above sea level in Seattle area mine took 53 minutes. I was expecting a cheese danish like cheese layer but it really did not add anything spectacular. Yes it was banana bread, yes it was moist but it?s supposed to be. Not sure it was worth the extra calories and effort.

    • 4 years ago

    The cream cheese layer wasn?t very creamy, more like a second batter because of the additions. I liked this a lot, but I didn?t love it. On half I added pecans which was a nice addition. I also added a dash of pumpkin spice because there wasn?t much flavor.

    • 4 years ago

    AMAZING! what a great twist on Banana Bread. It was very moist! After ready other reviews I did follow some of their suggestions.. like pouring the cream cheese last and swirling it in. Also added more sugar to the cream cheese!!!! Will be making over and over!

    • 3 years ago

    I am hoping someone can tell me what I did wrong. The flavor was wonderful. But the bread fell apart when I cut it. Even after cooling several hours on a cooling rack, it still fell apart. Any advice appreciated. I don’t think it was the recipe, I think it was me. 🙂

    • 3 years ago

    Super moist and so easy to make!! Delicious!

    • 3 years ago

    I thought this was really tasty but next time I would leave the flour out of the cream cheese mixture, and add some vanilla to it. The flour gave it a weird, firm texture, whereas I prefer a softer cream cheese filling. The filling was also lacking in flavor, which the vanilla would help. I made this to take to work and it disappeared crazy fast!

    • 3 years ago

    Perfect as is! I’d take a pic but my family devoured it within mins

    • 3 years ago

    I followed the recipe as written and was very pleased with the result. The bread was moist and the cream cheese and banana created a very nice texture, flavor and appearance. I misjudged and put more than half of the dough on the bottom layer so that the top layer did not entirely cover the banana/cream cheese layer, but it still turned out fine. Will definitely try this again!

    • 3 years ago

    It was good and moist but next time I would not put flour in the cream cheese mixture, you can hardly tell that its cream cheese. I will try it again.

    • 3 years ago

    Delicious…no other way to describe; moist and yummy! I added a 1 tsp. of cinnamon and swirled in the cream cheese mixture vs. trying to “layer” and it was pretty AND tasty.

    • 3 years ago

    Great recipe, I just used yogurt instead of sour cream and for the cream cheese filling I used powder sugar instead of regular sugar? turned out great , very very tasty

    • 3 years ago

    Scrumptious! This recipe exceeded my expectations by a mile exactly as written. So of course I made 3 small alterations and they dialed up perfection to 11. I added 1 Tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the cake and 2 teaspoons to the filling. I creamed the bananas with the butter and sugar with a hand mixer, and I made 12 cupcakes (20 – 25 minutes) instead of a loaf.
    Next batch I am adding chopped walnuts.

    • 3 years ago

    My family absolutely loved it. They call it a cheesecake banana bread. I used a 9 inch round pan and reduced baking time by half. It was great!

    • 3 years ago

    This turned out beautifully, and the cream cheese and sour cream added a unique flavor!

    • 3 years ago

    I didn’t think it was anything special. The cream cheese layer kind of got lost. I was expecting a more defined taste. Also it took about 10 minutes longer to bake than was specified. I think I will stick with my regular banana bread recipe.

    • 2 years ago

    Was a hit with everyone.

    • 2 years ago

    OMG this bread is absolutely delicious. From now on this will be my go to for banana bread

    • 2 years ago

    Made it again. Double batch this time. 2 neighbor bachelor’s tried it the last time and liked it so much that they brought Bananas and asked me to make it again. I saved out enough batter to make myself a stuffed waffle out of it. We’ll see how that turns out!

    • 2 years ago

    This banana bread recipe is simply delicious! The first time I made it exactly from the recipe and it was so good, everybody loved it. the second time I only had a little sour cream so I used an 1/8cup of sour cream and a few tablespoons of cinnamon applesauce.. It was so moist with a perfect combination of moist banana & cream cheese filling.

    • 2 years ago

    Made muffins with this recipe.

    I added one tea spoon of vanilla to the cream cheese mixture. I spooned the mixture into a makeshift piping bag. Before baking I gave each muffin a generous dollop.

    Sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on top for good measure. Decreased cook time to 35 minutes.

    Yields 14

    • 2 years ago

    I added nuts.. Can’t wait to taste…
    Looks delicious ??.

    • 2 years ago

    The recipe worked great! Moist and delicious. One thing though. The cream cheese filling was runny so it cooked in a more swirl pattern rather than a “filling”. Mine didn’t look like the photo. It is still a great recipe and I will make again. (I may have made the filling incorrectly 🙁 )

    • 2 years ago

    The recipe was easy to follow after baking at 350 for 50 minutes we took out the bread and the top was very wet and raw dough looking. Baked longer…then longer and longer. After 90 mins the edges are very dark but the spots on top still look a little wet we think it might be okay now.

    • 2 years ago

    I have made this delicious bread twice now. The first time with the cream cheese and OMGoodness it was sooo good! The second time without the cream cheese, and still sooo delicious, moist and melts in your mouth like butter. The only change I made was that I added raisins. My husband loves the raisins in this bread. The whole family loves this recipe.

    • 2 years ago

    I tweaked it,
    Used 2 1/2 bananas,
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    Added peanut butter chips to the bread and sprinkled on top
    Added crushed mazap?n Crunch bars to the bread and cream cheese?
    Used a good amount of butter to grease the glass loaf pan that I have..
    Baked at 350 for 1 Hr 3 Min (perfection!)
    Best banana bread ever. Ever!!!

    • 2 years ago

    Was just ok for me. Wouldn?t make it again. Looked better than it tasted. I followed the recipe exactly as it was.

    • 2 years ago

    Meh. Made recipe as printed except added cinnamon. Not worth the trouble. Cream cheese mixture was basically tasteless. Will stick to my grandmother’s banana nut bread recipe in the future.

    • 2 years ago

    I added a little orange zest to the cream cheese. Delicious! I can see tweaking the recipe for the seasons. Warm spices and nuts in the fall. Almond extract and almond butter in spring. Love the silky, Custard like texture of this bread .

    • 1 year ago

    No changes and it was perfect! My whole family loved it. (Even the ones that don’t eat sour cream loved it!

    • 11 months ago

    Verry good as is, for sure! Moist but cook time was a bit longer. Can definitely alter to accommodate cooking preferences with nuts, chocolate chips, zucchini, cinnamon, coco, etc. Will do again!

    • 10 months ago

    Incredibly moist and delicious make with Cana butter and thank me later!!
