1️⃣ Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
2️⃣ Mix dry ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour 🍞, baking powder 🧪, salt 🧂, and cinnamon powder 🍂.
3️⃣ Cream butter and sugar:
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter 🧈 and granulated sugar 🍬 until light and fluffy.
4️⃣ Add wet ingredients:
Beat in eggs 🥚 one at a time, then beat in vanilla extract 🍨. Stir in mashed bananas 🍌 and sour cream 🥛 until well combined.
5️⃣ Prepare cream cheese filling:
In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese 🧀 until smooth and creamy.
6️⃣ Layer dough:
Pour half of the banana bread dough into the prepared loaf pan. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the top. Then pour the remaining banana batter over the cream cheese layer.
7️⃣ Bake the bread:
Bake the banana bread in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8️⃣ Cool and serve:
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing.
