Ingredients
FOR THE FILLING
  • 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ c. peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ c. sugar
FOR THE BREAD
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • ½ c. butter, melted

  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350° and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, peanut butter, egg and sugar. Using a hand mixer, beat until smooth. Place in refrigerator while making the banana bread batter.
