Cream Cheese Banana Bread

Submitted by Keith Biggs:

Ingredients:

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
3 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 4 medium)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans (I don't add these)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 8x4 loaf pans.
In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until just blended.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices; gradually add to butter mixture just until blended. Stir in bananas, pecans, and vanilla. Spoon batter into prepared loaf pans.
Bake for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes.
