SOUTHERN LIVING'S CREAM CHEESE BANANA BREAD



Southern Living's Cream Cheese Banana Bread image

I get so many rave reviews for this banana bread, courtesy of Southern living. My father-in-law will request this every couple of weeks and I can happily oblige due to the over ripe bananas we have in our home. The cream cheese keeps the bread nice and moist and the pecans are a nice added texture. :) I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. One thing to point out I prefer to use Nucoa Margarine, it doesn't burn, it doesn't contain milk or whey either) In the end..it makes a prettier loaf of bread)

This recipe ALWAYS comes through! Everyone always loves it and when I give the bread as a gift, I'm always asked for the recipe! It's easy to make, doubles well AND freezes well! The *secret* to a super moist and flavorful bread is to use the sour cream (generous portions) AND to use very ripe (we're talking black on the outside and super soft and aromatic on the inside) bananas! I make the bread as loaves, large muffins and mini-muffins and each turns out perfectly yummy! Enjoy!

SOUTHERN LIVING'S TOASTED COCONUT CREAM CHEESE BANANA NUT BREAD



Southern Living's Toasted Coconut Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread image

This was published in Southern Living's Feb 2008 edition. It is a re-make of the original recipe contributed by Willie Monroe from Homewood, Alabama. This version cuts down some of the fat intake and still remains pretty good. Make sure you bake this in TWO 8X4 loaf pans. If you put this in one 10X4 loaf pan it wil be too much batter and will not bake through properly.

BANANA BREAD ICE CREAM LAYER CAKE



Banana Bread Ice Cream Layer Cake image

Banana bread gets a summer makeover! We take a loaf of banana bread and turn it into a layer cake with the addition of peanut butter and chocolate ice creams. If you can't find plain peanut butter ice cream, feel free to use one that has your favorite mix-ins, or even plain vanilla ice cream -- it will be equally delicious.

Time 9h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 very ripe bananas (about 1 pound)
2 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
1 1/4 cups peanut butter chips
3 cups peanut butter or vanilla ice cream, softened (see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 cups chocolate ice cream, softened
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
1/4 cup roasted salted peanuts, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-5-inch metal loaf pan with cooking spray, then set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl, then set aside. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until very smooth, then add the eggs, sugar, canola oil and vanilla extract and whisk until very smooth. Stir in half of the flour mixture until mostly combined, then add the other half and stir until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake, rotating the pan once halfway through, until golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 30 minutes, then gently flip the banana bread out of the pan and cool completely. Clean out the pan, then line with plastic wrap, allowing about 1 inch of overhang on all sides of the pan.
  • Combine the milk chocolate chips with 1/2 cup peanut butter chips in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Once completely cooled, carefully slice the banana bread horizontally into 3 even slices. Place the bottom slice into the bottom of the lined loaf pan, then cover with an even layer of 1 1/2 cups peanut butter ice cream. Sprinkle half of the mixed chocolate and peanut butter chips over the ice cream. Layer the middle slice of banana bread over the chips, then cover with an even layer of chocolate ice cream, followed by the remaining mixed chocolate and peanut butter chips. Invert the top slice of banana bread so that the domed top is facing downward, then lay it in the loaf pan, using your hands to press down lightly on the banana bread. Cover with the remaining peanut butter ice cream, smoothing it out so that it is as flat as possible. Fold over the plastic wrap, then use another sheet of plastic wrap to cover the loaf pan completely. Freeze until completely frozen, at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
  • Combine the vegetable shortening with the remaining peanut butter chips in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted, about 45 seconds total.
  • Remove the loaf pan from the freezer and use the plastic overhang to lift the cake out of the pan. (Run the underside of the loaf pan under warm water if the cake sticks to the pan and is hard to remove.) Place the cake right-side up on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet, then drizzle the melted peanut butter topping back and forth over the top of the cake with a spoon. Quickly sprinkle with the peanuts (before the topping dries). Return to the freezer and allow the topping to harden completely, at least 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the freezer, cut into slices and serve immediately.

SOUTHERN LIVING'S CREAM CHEESE BANANA NUT BREAD...HEALTHIER VERS



Southern Living's Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread...healthier Vers image

This was published in Southern Living's Feb 2008 edition. It is a re-make of the original recipe contributed by Willie Monroe from Homewood, Alabama. This version cuts down some of the fat intake and still remains as delish as the original recipe. Gotta try it! Make sure you bake this in TWO 8X4 loaf pans. If you try and put it into one 10x4 loaf pan it will be way too much batter and will not cook through properly!
