# Ingredients:

→ Filling Ingredients

01 - 1 large egg, at room temperature
02 - ½ cup (100g) white sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon plain flour
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
05 - 1 block (8 ounces) of softened cream cheese

→ Bread Ingredients

06 - ½ teaspoon baking powder
07 - 2 teaspoons vanilla flavor
08 - 3 bananas, fully ripe
09 - ½ cup sour cream, softened at room temp
10 - 1 cup (200g) sugar, split equally between white and brown
11 - ½ cup (113g) melted butter
12 - ½ teaspoon baking soda
13 - 2 large eggs, warm from room temperature
14 - 2 cups (256g) regular flour

# Instructions:

01 - Heat oven to 350°F. Coat two loaf pans (9x5-inch size) in cooking spray that prevents sticking.
02 - Whip cream cheese with white sugar until glossy. Blend in the egg and vanilla. Sprinkle in flour and mix till smooth. Put aside for later.
03 - In a big bowl, mash up bananas. Stir in sugars and melted butter until blended. Whisk in sour cream, eggs, and vanilla next.
04 - Incorporate baking soda, flour, and baking powder in a separate bowl by whisking them. Gradually mix this into the banana mixture.
05 - Pour half of the banana batter into each of the two pans. Spread on the cream cheese filling so it covers evenly. Add the rest of the batter on top.
06 - Bake for 50-55 minutes. Check by inserting a toothpick in the middle—it should come out with a few crumbs. Let bread cool all the way before slicing.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, warm ingredients to room temperature first.
02 - You can keep it fresh by storing in an airtight box.
03 - Perfect use for those overly ripe bananas.
