Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together one large egg, ½ cup of light brown sugar, and ½ cup of granulated sugar until smooth. Then add ⅓ cup of coconut oil, ½ cup of sour cream, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
- Mash 2 large ripe bananas in a separate bowl until smooth and stir them into the wet mixture, ensuring they're well integrated.
- In another bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and optional ¼ teaspoon salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture without overmixing.
- Pour about two-thirds of the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 egg, ¼ cup of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of flour until smooth. Spread this mixture over the batter in the pan.
- Carefully spoon the remaining batter on top of the cream cheese filling and smooth it gently.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 48-50 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- After baking, allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature and measure mashed bananas precisely for best results.
