What a terrific banana bread. We really enjoyed this delicious treat. It was wonderful; sweet, but not to sweet, very flavorful, tender on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Perfect just the way we enjoy them. I didn't add the nuts because of dh's allergy. Thank you for sharing your quick and easy to make recipe. We will be enjoying this for years to come. Made for Best of 2014 Tag Game.

This is the BEST banana nut bread I have ever tasted. I made this for a women conference at my church and everyone that ate the bread gave compliments. I added 1 tsp of vanilla and 1 1/2 cups of walnuts. I think it was the cream cheese that made it so delicious. Awesome bread! Just awesome!
