Categories     Breakfast

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 oz light cream cheese, also called Neufchatel, room temperature
½ cup strawberry, diced
1 tablespoon honey
3 ripe bananas
2 large eggs
⅓ cup 2% plain greek yogurt
½ cup honey
1 ½ cups wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of honey, and strawberries until smooth.
  • Microwave the cream cheese mixture in 30 second intervals for a total of 5 minutes, stirring between each interval. This helps cook out the moisture so that the mixture doesn't create a large pocket of steam in the bread.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • In a bowl, mash the bananas with a fork.
  • Add the eggs and mix until well combined and frothy.
  • Add the Greek yogurt and honey, and mix until incorporated.
  • Sprinkle in the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and baking powder, and fold the batter together with a spatula.
  • Pour ¾ of the banana bread batter into a greased loaf pan, smoothing it into an even layer with the spatula.
  • Pour in the cream cheese filling, making sure to keep it away from the edge of the pan.
  • Pour the remaining banana bread batter over the cream cheese filling and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes, until the top springs back when lightly touched.
  • Let the pan cool for 15 minute before removing the loaf from the pan.
  • Allow the bread to cool at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
  • Enjoy!
