Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together one large egg, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, and ¼ cup granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Gently fold in 1 cup of mashed ripe bananas until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Pour about two-thirds of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. In a clean bowl, combine 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, another egg, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 3 tablespoons flour. Whisk until smooth.
  7. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the batter in the pan.
  8. Spoon the remaining banana bread batter over the cream cheese filling.
  9. Bake for 48-50 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
