SOUTHERN LIVING'S CREAM CHEESE BANANA BREAD
I get so many rave reviews for this banana bread, courtesy of Southern living. My father-in-law will request this every couple of weeks and I can happily oblige due to the over ripe bananas we have in our home. The cream cheese keeps the bread nice and moist and the pecans are a nice added texture. :) I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. One thing to point out I prefer to use Nucoa Margarine, it doesn't burn, it doesn't contain milk or whey either) In the end..it makes a prettier loaf of bread)

Classic banana nut bread gets a creamy twist. While warm bread is yummy, perfectly cut slices come after letting the bread cool 30 minutes and cutting with a serrated or electric knife.

SOUTHERN LIVING'S CREAM CHEESE BANANA NUT BREAD...HEALTHIER VERS
This was published in Southern Living's Feb 2008 edition. It is a re-make of the original recipe contributed by Willie Monroe from Homewood, Alabama. This version cuts down some of the fat intake and still remains as delish as the original recipe. Gotta try it! Make sure you bake this in TWO 8X4 loaf pans. If you try and put it into one 10x4 loaf pan it will be way too much batter and will not cook through properly!

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. Overripe bananas will give your bread a sweeter, more intense banana flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
- Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches. A smaller pan will make the bread too thick and dense.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the bread dry.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

This Southern Living Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With its moist, tender texture and sweet, nutty flavor, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
