Why do cream cheese and bananas go together? How do they mix to become something wondrous like this Cream Cheese Banana Bread? Well, the mellow sweetness of the banana and the tang of the cream cheese complement each other so well, and both bring so much tenderness to the bread, that it would be foolish not to put them together! Cream Cheese Banana Bread is a treat that's as easy to enjoy as it is to make!
