Strawberry Cream Cheese-filled Banana Bread

Instructions

• 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!
