Made this tonight because I had some overripe bananas. Reminded me of making it at Susy Bryan's (ok, Houx) house when we were kids. That's where I first learned that old bananas had such a wonderful fate. Susy and Ms. Monique were always baking something wonderful!
Because I hate nuts, I have eliminated them from the batch pictured and replaced them with chocolate chips.
Oh, and yes, this is still sugar-free February. So sue me. :) The bananas told me to do it. It was their final wish.
Included the recipe so you can try it...
Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread
3/4 cup butter softened
1- 8oz. cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
3 cups self rising flour
3-4 medium sized mashed bananas
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/2 tea. vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350. Beat butter and cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time beating until just blended. Gradually add the flour to the mixture, beating at low speed until just blended. Stir in bananas, nuts and vanilla. Spoon batter into two greased and floured 8x4 loaf pans. Bake for 50-60 minutes (if it starts getting too brown, put some aluminum foil over the top). Remove from pans and cool on wire rack.
