Tastefully Tueday...

Yesterday I noticed that I had a bunch of bananas that had turned brown almost overnight so I wanted to do something with them.  My Niece's boyfriend had just made us banana muffins so I went looking for something a little different at Cooks.com and found a great cream cheese banana bread recipe.  It is like a quick bread to make but turns out like a yeast type bread in the end, its really good! 

CREAM CHEESE BANANA BREAD

 1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese

1 c. sugar
1/4 c. butter
1 c. mashed bananas
2 eggs
2 1/4 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine cream cheese, sugar and butter mixing well. Blend in bananas and eggs. Add remaining ingredients; mix well until moistened. Pour in greased and floured 9x5 loaf pan. Bake 1 hour 10 minutes or until wooden pick comes out clean.
