Cream Cheese Banana Bread with Crumb Topping is easy homemade bread perfect for breakfast or snack, but also a very satisfying dessert. This banana bread stuffed with cream cheese filling, chocolate chips, and pecans with irresistible cinnamon streusel is more like delicious banana coffee cake, just baked in a loaf pan.

If you want just a simple version of homemade banana bread, then must check my Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe, too. For that recipe you don’t even need a mixer.

Banana Bread with Cream Cheese Filling

This moist banana bread with chocolate chips and pecans is very tasty, but cream cheese filling takes it to the next level for sure.  

However, I love the combo of sweet banana flavour and tangy cream cheese. If you like it as well, then check my Banana Bread Cheesecake and Banana Cream Cheese Muffins.

What You’ll Need For This Bread Recipe?

The list of ingredients seems intimidating at first glance, but that are all simple ingredients. These are all basic ingredients and are repeated several times in each part of the recipe.

  • You will need:
  • All-purpose flour- for the banana bread part, but for the filling and topping as well
  • Granulated sugar and brown sugar, and a powdered sugar, too if you want to add the glaze to your bread
  • Eggs-for stability, and tender texture as well.
  • Baking soda, baking powder and salt
  • Dairy- butter, sour cream, cream cheese, and milk for the glaze
  • Vanilla extract and cinnamon-for the flavour
  • Bananas- you will need 2 large bananas for this recipe to make 1 cup mashed bananas
  • Pecans and chocolate chips are totally optional. If you don’t like the crunch in your bread, just skip these two. Also you can add more than it said in the recipe, it’s totally up to your taste.

How to Make Homemade Banana Bread?

Next, add 3 Tablespoons melted butter and whisk until everything is evenly moistened and coarse crumbs are formed. If the mixture looks sandy, squeeze it with your hand to make larger clumps, then crumble with your fingers into a pea size crumbs. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl combine softened butter, sugar and vanilla extract and mix for 2 minutes. Next, add egg, egg white (reserve egg yolk for the cream cheese), mashed bananas and sour cream and mix well.

Spoon remaining banana bread batter over the cream cheese. Gently smooth using the back of the spoon. Sprinkle with streusel crumbs and bake for about 55-65 minutes at 350 F, until the center has set. If it starts browning too much tent the top with aluminium foil.

I made this exactly as the recipe states and used the size loaf pan it stated. I put it in the oven and set the timer for 45 minutes to check it but I smelled burning before then. I opened the oven to a plume of smoke and banana bread and crumb topping burning on the bottom of my oven, on the racks and bubbling out of the pan sliding down the sides. I cleaned up what I could and put a sheet tray under it. I continued cooking it since I spent so much time making it and it took almost two hours to finish baking. What happened? Should this recipe be for making two loaves?
