Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 2 ½ oz. instant banana pudding mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 10 vanilla wafers, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cup mashed bananas (about 4 medium bananas)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. vanilla bean paste
  • 3 TBSP instant banana pudding mix
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 vanilla wafers, finely crushed like a powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together the cream cheese and instant pudding mix until smooth.
  3. Beat in the egg, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  4. Add the vanilla extract, continuing to beat until fully incorporated.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped up vanilla wafers. Set aside.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  7. In your stand mixer, combine the mashed bananas and sugar. Mix on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes until well combined.
  8. Add in the vegetable oil, mixing until fully incorporated.
  9. Beat in each of the two large eggs one at a time, scraping down after each addition.
  10. Gradually add in the flour mixture on low speed just until everything starts to come together.
  11. Spray your 9×5 loaf pan with baking spray and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  12. Divide the batter in half; pour one half into your prepared pan and smooth it out evenly.
  13. Carefully spread the prepared cheese mixture over this layer, pressing down gently with a spatula to distribute it evenly.
  14. Pour in remaining banana bread batter on top of the pudding mixture.
  15. Bake at 350°F for 45–55 minutes or until golden brown; check for doneness with a toothpick.
  16. While your bread cools, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and milk until smooth.
  17. Add in the vanilla bean paste.
  18. Gradually incorporate powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.
  19. Once cooled, pour glaze over your banana bread and sprinkle with crushed vanilla wafers before it sets up completely. Allow it to set for about an hour at room temperature before chilling it in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
