Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the mashed bananas, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sour cream, brown sugar, and egg yolk until smooth. Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared springform pan. Gently spread the cream cheese mixture over the banana bread batter.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before releasing the sides. Cool completely before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
- Serve chilled. Garnish with sliced bananas, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or chopped pecans, if desired.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use browned butter in the banana bread batter. Store leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze slices for longer storage; wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. For a nuttier flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the banana bread batter.
