It’s been getting chilly here in Colorado, but I am not ready to turn on the heat so I’ve been doing a little baking. It smells good, tastes good and warms the house too!
This recipe is really quick to prepare and is the best, most moist banana bread I have ever had.

I think it’s cool how the cream cheese keeps the bread from turning as brown in the middle as most banana breads are. I wonder why that is? But it looks delicious!
You know, I had never even thought of that!
