Aunt Lynda's Cream Cheese filled Banana Bread

Serves: Makes 2 loaves

Ingredients:

• 1 c sugar
• 1/2 c butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 3 mashed ripe bananas
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 3 Tbsp sour cream
• 2 c flour
• 1 c chopped nuts

Cream Cheese Mixture:

• 8 oz softened cream cheese
• 1/3 c sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 Tbsp flour

Instructions:

Mix 1 cup sugar, butter & 2 eggs. Add bananas, salt, the soda dissolved in sour cream, & 2 cups flour. Mix well and add nuts.

Divide 1/2 of this mixture into 2 greased & floured loaf pans.

Combine cream cheese mixture ingredients and spread over mixture in pans. Spread remaining banana bread batter on top.

PS ~ I like to sprinkle a few extra nuts on top or sprinkle top with 1 T. sugar mixed w. 1/2 T. cinnamon before baking. Makes a nice crunchy top. But that's totally optional.

Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Test for doneness.

Cool and slice. Makes a lovely presentation.
