  8. Spread cream cheese filling evenly over batter.

Notes

  • Do not overmix batter to keep bread tender.
  • Use very ripe bananas for best flavor.
  • Add nuts or chocolate chips for variation.
  • Store in refrigerator due to cream cheese layer.
  • Freeze slices individually for longer storage.
  • Reheat gently or enjoy chilled.
