Peanut Butter Streusel-Topped Cream Cheese Banana-Nut Bread image

Whew! That is some title. The peanut butter topping on this is outstanding. My bananas were very sweet and ripe, so I was able to get away with less sugar in the batter (I used the full amount in the topping though). From Southern Living.

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 4 medium)
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup flour, plus
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup butter
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease and flour 2 8x4 inch loaf pans.
  • Make bread batter by beating butter and cream cheese at medium speed with electric mixer until creamy.
  • Add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, beating until just blended.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add this to butter mixture, stirring just until blended.

  • Sprinkle the mixture over the batter, and bake for 1 hour, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. If necessary, shield the top with foil for last 15 minutes to prevent browning.
