A sweet cinnamon swirl banana bread bursting with banana flavor, and topped with glaze!

While I am a banana lover in general, I won’t lie that there are times that I buy bananas just to wait for them to ripen and start going brown. I love Banana Bread of all kinds, and this one is more like cake then bread because it is so yummy. It is dessert good, but still retains banana flavor!

The cream cheese makes it thick, rich, and heavy, and the glaze sweetens it up. The cinnamon swirl just makes the perfect addition.

I always feel like I have to hurry and make banana bread when my bananas get too ripe, but I forget the very viable option of freezing them. They can then be used for banana bread on demand. No more waiting for the bananas to over-ripen. You are so welcome. If you start doing that, you can make this bread whenever the mood strikes.

Just keep in mind that it will smell awesome, and you will want to eat it right away, but it is so much better after it has a chance to cool.

It will keep for about a week in an airtight container or ziploc bag! And it freezes beautifully as well.

    I love your blog so much. However, I’m glad it’s too got to bake right now or I’d be eating sooooo much of this! Totally bookmarked for the fall!

      It is pretty good, it is similar to adding a yogurt or sour cream in that it makes it a little heavier and moist. I love it!
