Cream Cheese Swirled Banana Zucchini Bread

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup grated zucchini (excess water squeezed out)
  • 1 cup mashed bananas (about 2-3 ripe bananas)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the grated zucchini, mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy. You can add a splash of vanilla if you want to take it up a notch.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Then, dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture on top. Pour the remaining batter over the cream cheese layer. Use a knife to swirl gently, creating a marbled effect.
  6. Bake for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. It might take a little longer, so keep an eye on it.
  7. Once it’s done baking, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Slice it up and enjoy with a warm cup of tea or coffee, and trust me, it’ll be the perfect way to unwind and treat yourself. Happy baking, and enjoy every bite of this delightful creation!
