Instructions

1. Prep
   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan.
2. Banana batter
   Mix flour, baking soda, salt.
   In another bowl, mix sugar, butter, bananas, egg, and vanilla.
   Combine wet and dry just until mixed.
3. Cream cheese filling
   Beat cream cheese, sugar, yolk, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Assemble
   • Pour half the banana batter into the pan.
   • Spread cream cheese mixture on top (don’t touch edges).
   • Top with remaining banana batter.
5. Bake
   Bake 55–65 minutes. Cover loosely if top browns too fast.
6. Cool completely
   Let cool fully before slicing so the center sets.

Tips & Variations

• Add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the banana batter.
• Swirl the cream cheese slightly for a marbled look.
• Store in the fridge for best texture.

If you want, I can give you a one-bowl version, mini loaves, or a protein-packed version.
