  • 1½ tsp (6g) baking powder
  • 1 tsp (3g) cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup (70g) sugar
  • 1/3 cup (70g) brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp (40g) melted butter
  • 3 tbsp (40g) vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp (5g) vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60g) sour cream

For the Cream Cheese Filling

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp (30g) sugar
  • 1 tbsp (10g) flour
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C).
  • Lightly grease a 8½ x 4½-inch (21x 11 cm -1 liter capacity) loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
  • Place the bananas in a medium bowl and mash with a fork.
  • In a medium bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon.
  • In a large bowl, using a whisk or an electric hand mixer, cream together the egg with both sugars, butter and oil. Add sour cream and vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.
  • Mix in the mashed bananas.
  • Gently incorporate the flour mixture. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together the cream cheese, with egg, sugar, vanilla extract and flour.
  • Pour about two-thirds of the banana batter into the prepared loaf pan. Add the cream cheese mixture and cover with the remaining cake batter. Use a knife to create swirls.
  • Bake for about 50-60 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the bread browns too fast, cover with aluminum foil and continue baking.
  • Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy!
