Heavenly Cinnamon Banana Cream Cheese Bread

Ingredients

- Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 bananas)
- 1/2 cup sour cream

- Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

3. Cream the Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2 minutes.

4. Add the Eggs and Vanilla:
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

5. Incorporate Bananas and Sour Cream:
- Stir in the mashed bananas and sour cream until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

7. Prepare the Pan:
- Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

8. Bake the Bread:
- Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Cool and Prepare the Frosting:
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.

10. Frost and Serve:
- Once the bread is completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the top. Slice and serve.
