Method

  1. Mash the bananas

    • Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
    Step 1
  2. Make the banana bread batter

    • In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt and cornstarch (or milk powder).
    • Add the dry ingredients to the wet and fold until just combined; the batter should be thick and sticky.
    Step 2
  3. Make the cinnamon swirl paste

  4. Layer the batter and swirl paste

    • Alternate layers of batter and swirl paste in the loaf pan, making about three layers and finishing with batter.
    • Swirl gently with a knife if desired.
    Step 4
  5. Bake

    • Bake at 175 °C (350 °F) until a toothpick comes out clean; the internal temperature should be around 93 °C (200 °F).
    Step 5
  6. Cool

    • Let the banana bread cool in the pan before glazing.
    Step 6
  7. Make the cream cheese glaze
