Ingredients
  • Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the pan
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pan

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 very ripe bananas
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Cheesecake Swirl:
  • One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup sour cream

Instructions
  1. For the banana bread: Position an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Generously spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and dust with flour.
  2. For the cheesecake swirl: Combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream and egg in a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer until well combined; set aside.
  3. For the banana bread: Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Mash the granulated sugar and bananas in a large bowl to a paste. Whisk in the oil, vanilla and egg. Whisk in the flour mixture until just combined.
