♥ Banana Cream Cheese Loaf ♥



The idea of adding a layer of cheese cake inside this banana bread comes from Averie Cooks. The result is so delicious, imagine having a cheesecake with banana bread base.


This is such an extraordinary loaf of banana bread. It doesn't take up much fat (just 1/3 cup) but natural ones from bananas. The sugar content is also lowered with substitution of Natural Sweetener Natvia.
Sounds great huh?



For a better result, VERY ripe bananas are a must. I mean, they should be at least half browned, squishy and mushy. Try this easy-to-whip-up one bowl recipe now!
