    I have a family of banana bread lovers and one of their favorite recipes is this one right here. Made with a cinnamon crumble topping and a spiced cream cheese banana bread interior it's crunchy, sweet, soft, and fluffy and everything you could ever want in a slice.

    You're going to love this cream cheese banana bread with sweet cinnamon topping. It's got everything you love about good banana bread packed into every slice.

    I made this recipe as an adaption to the famous Southern Living Cream Cheese Banana Bread recipe. It's a recipe that's been out for longer than I've been alive and honestly, this recipe variation only improves upon the greatness.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    This coffee cake banana bread batter will be pretty thick and gummy in texture as you mix it with the electric mixer and this is okay because once you add in the mashed bananas, the added liquid from the bananas will help to make the batter less thick and a little runnier. The batter will remain somewhat thick though so keep that in mind.

    When the banana bread with brown sugar crumble bakes it will become a very soft crumb texture and be perfect for snacking on.

    You can turn this banana bread recipe into about 24 perfect muffins by baking them at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted and come out clean.
