Cream Cheese Walnut Banana Bread

---

Oh, my this is yummy. great for oamc, since it makes two loaves, you can freeze one and still have one to smear butter all over. this is not a diet friendly recipe! :) the riper the bananas, the better the flavor and the easier to mash (my peels were practically brown).

Steps

---

Preheat oven to 350f and grease 2 loaf pans.

---

Beat butter and cream cheese together until smooth using a stand mixer until creamy.

---

While the mixer is still on , add the sugar slowly , letting it combine.

---

Add the eggs one at a time , again letting each egg combine before adding the next.

---

Combine the flour , baking powder and soda , and salt.

---

At this point make sure everything else is ready to combine , because once the flour hits the batter , you want to mix as little as possible.

---

Add the flour slowly to the mixture as the mixer is going.

---

Turn off the mixer and add the bananas , nuts , and vanilla.

---

Turn the mixer on briefly to combine.

---

Spoon the batter into the loaf pans and bake for 50 minutes to one hour , or until a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean.

---

Cool in the pan at least 10 minutes , remove and cool on a rack for at least 30 more minutes if you want nice clean slices.

---

You could even do all this mixing by hand , it will just take longer.

---

Simply add everything .
