INGREDIENTS

  • Wet Ingredients

    • ½ cup margarine, softened
    • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
    • 1 ¼ cups white sugar
    • 🥚 2 eggs
    • 🍌 1 cup mashed bananas
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • Toppings

    • ¾ cup chopped pecans
    • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
    • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8x4-inch loaf pans.

2

Cream the margarine and cream cheese together. Gradually add the white sugar, and continue beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla. Add flour, baking powder, and baking soda; mix until batter is just moist.

3

In a small bowl, mix together chopped pecans, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and cinnamon.

4

Divide half the batter between the two prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle pecan mixture over the batter in the pans, and top with remaining batter.

5

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each loaf comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
