👏Pumpkin Cheesecake Banana Bread🎃
Ingredients:
Pumpkin Banana Bread:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
- 1 egg room temperature
- 6 tbsp butter softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
Cheesecake Filling:
- 6 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions:
1Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9×5 loaf pan and set aside. I use the nonstick cooking spray with flour in it.
2Combine bananas and sugar (both brown sugar and the granulated sugar) in a large mixing bowl and beat until combined. Beat in pumpkin, egg, butter, and vanilla until well combined.
3Combine the dry ingredients in a small bowl and stir into the wet ingredients until just combined.
4Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Evenly spread the batter to the edges of the pan. Set aside.
Cheesecake Filling:
1Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in the flour and continue beating until no lumps remain.
2Spread the cheesecake filling carefully over the contents in the loaf pan making sure it’s as even as possible.
3Spread the remaining half of the pumpkin-banana mixture over the top of the cheesecake filling. Make sure to smooth the top and make it nice and even.
4Bake for 55-65 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
5Let cool in pan for 10 to 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool.
