  • In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
  • Mix in baking soda and salt. Add sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Stir in flour.
  • In another bowl, beat together all cream cheese filling ingredients using an electric mixer.

  • Use a butter knife to swirl the cream cheese into the banana bread batter.
  • Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
