Easy Banana Bread with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting...

Picture
I just thought I would share one of my favorite recipes for fall baking. Super easy and delicious! The frosting in the center is sinful and will be a crowd pleaser for sure! 

Banana Bread

What you need:
1/2 cup butter at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup mashed very ripe bananas
1/2 sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. 
Butter 9x5" loaf pan, set aside
With an electric mixer cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. 
Add eggs and incorporate
Step 2
Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt
Add sifted flour mix to your butter mix
Add bananas, sour cream, vanilla and nuts mixing to combine and pour into your pan
Step 3 
Bake at 350 until a tooth pick inserted into the center of your bread comes out clean about an hour to an hour and ten minutes. Remove from oven rack cool for 10 minutes and remove from pan to further cool about 20 more minutes.

Step 2

Step 3 
Add 1 cup of powdered sugar, blend add 3 tbs of cream
Step 4

COOL! I know you're tempted but throw that frosting in the fridge for awhile and allow for it to firm up a bit before you spread it.

A couple of tips... cool your banana bread completely prior to attempting to frosting. For optimum results cool both the frosting and bread. Slice the bread lengthwise with a serrated knife, spread the frosting in the center and cool in the fridge for awhile before slicing. Happy baking! 

If you end up making this let me know how it turned out! I'd love to hear of any variations or changes you make to the recipe. Enjoy!

What our customers have to say

I worked with Elle Halls of Nouvelle Design Studio for my business profile picture (used for LinkedIn, email, website, business cards, etc.) and she was amazing! She really listened to what I wanted, and made me a part of the process, stopping many times throughout the shoot to show me how the photos were looking. What I thought was going to be a "business errand/chore" ended up being a lot of fun! I highly recommend using Elle for your photography project.

Excellent experience. Elle was able to coach out the "model" in me and provided many shots I can pick from. She went well above and beyond me expectations and the final product is excellent.

Thumbtack client Scott J.

Working with Elle was wonderful! I was doing a fashion shoot and it was so fun! She's very nice, funny, and professional, the shoot went like that! She has a very keen eye and did wonderful work! Very happy with my photos. Thanks, Elle!

I love the photos of myself and my daughter. We were given excellent direction so we could get the best shots. I couldn't be happier with the results! I highly recommend booking a session for any type of photography you are looking for!
