Banana bread has got to be the most popular quick bread in the US. Often there will be two or three types of this ubiquitous bread at any brunch gathering. Perhaps it is a safe choice but it does seem like people genuinely love their banana bread and can’t get enough of it.

Different Versions of Banana Bread

There is banana bread, and there is banana bread. Some come with nuts, chocolate chips, and even frosting. Been there, done that! So, today it is back to the basics. Not quite because that would be boring, right? Well, almost the basics except for the addition of cream cheese in the batter.

Cream Cheese in Quick Breads and Pound Cakes

Adding cream cheese to bread or cake batter is not new. I have done it 3 times on this blog, here, here, and here. Love the texture of these breads. They are very moist, even, and tender. All good traits in a quick bread. I figured it should work for banana bread too.

At the creaming stage, I can already tell if my bread or cake is going to have an even texture. If the butter is light, fluffy, and combines smoothly with the eggs, I know I did it right. Sometimes, that does not happen either because of over beating or the ingredients are still a little cold. Somehow, adding a little cream cheese helps. Unlike butter, cream cheese is always soft. It is also much denser than butter and usually fluffs up nicely when beaten.

No additions to this Even Textured Banana Cream Cheese Bread

No nuts or chocolate chips this time. Just plain Banana Cream Cheese Bread with a smooth even texture. Lightly spiced with just a teaspoon of ground cinnamon and not too sweet. Perfect for breakfast!

I made two smaller loaves instead of one standard size loaf. Cut each loaf into half inch thick slices, the width of which fitted perfectly into this narrow tray. Made it really easy for me to transport the bread to church for the Vacation Bible School teachers and youth helpers.

The family ate the bread ends. 🙂
