Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar adjust based on your sweetness preference

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

  3. Add baking soda and salt; mix again. Fold in the flour until just combined.
  4. Drop dollops of softened cream cheese throughout the batter and sprinkle in chocolate chips. Swirl gently to create a marbled effect.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow to cool for around 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a cooling rack.
