Whole Wheat Cream Cheese Banana Bread
Is banana bread a favorite at your house? Then you will love this Whole Wheat Cream Cheese Banana Bread! Don't shy away from the whole wheat part, this bread is tender and delicious.
This is a very friendly recipe! As it turns out some folks are purists when it comes to their banana bread! Some love walnuts in or on top, some don't. Some love chocolate chip in their banana bread, some don't! Our own family has these same struggles! But this recipe makes it easy to please everyone. Making two loaves at the same time makes it easy to customize one or both loaves.
But rest assured that Whole Wheat Cream Cheese Banana Bread is just as delicious without nuts or chocolate chips. And since it is so easy to make, those bananas that are a little too ripe for fresh eating don't stand a chance of being wasted. Actually, you might wish you had a few more to bake with...
Ingredients needed for this recipe:
Now we are ready to begin!
Whole Wheat Cream Cheese Banana Bread
by the seat of my pants!
350-degree oven
1 c sugar
1/4 c brown sugar
1 8oz block of cream cheese, cut into small squares
1/4 c oil
3 eggs
3 medium (or 2 large) sweet ripe bananas, mashed
2 1/2 c Whole Wheat Self-Rising Flour, you may find our recipe here.
3/4 c chocolate chips, if desired
1/2 c coarsely chopped walnuts, if desired
In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the sugar, brown sugar, and cream cheese. Beat on medium speed until fluffy, with no chunks of cream cheese remaining.
Beat in oil and eggs, then bananas. slowly mix in the whole wheat self-rising flour.
If you choose to flavor your loaves of banana bread, here is a suggestion:
Spoon half of the batter into a prepared loaf pan, top with walnut pieces.
Stir the chocolate chips into the batter remaining in the mixing bowl, then spoon the chocolate chip batter into a prepared loaf pan.
Bake 35 - 40 minutes or until done in your oven. Let rest in the pans 10 minutes before turning out to cool. Cool completely before slicing.

This sounds wonderful, Pinned and we'll have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

DeleteYum. I'll have to put cream cheese on my grocery list.
ReplyDeleteI love that stuff, I have to be careful not to use it everywhere!
DeleteWe like chocolate chips in our banana bread!
ReplyDeleteHere too! Thanks for stopping by, have a great week.
DeleteWe buy a very similar sounding cream cheese banana bread from a local bakery and I heat slices and top them with peanut butter (protein to add to the fruit for a TOTALLY nutritional treat, LOL). I didn't even think about making it myself though. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome!
DeleteThis looks amazing! I can’t have cream cheese or eggs right now due to my nursing baby’s food intolerances but I’ll have to save this for when I don’t nurse anymore! For now, I enjoy these three-ingredient cookies! https://elle-alice.blogspot.com/2020/05/three-ingredient-oatmeal-cookie.html
ReplyDeleteI remember those days, for me it was chocolate! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
