Ingredients
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 (8 ounce) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed bananas
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 tsps baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup chopped pecans
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsps ground cinnamon
Cream the butter or margarine and cream cheese together. Gradually add the white sugar, and continue beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla. Add flour, baking powder, and soda; mix until batter is just moist.
In a small bowl, mix together chopped pecans, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Divide 1/2 batter into 2 greased loaf pans. Sprinkle pecan mixture over batter in pans, and top with remaining batter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean!
This recipe makes 5 mini loaves - which you bake for 35 minutes in the 350 degree oven. I have also tried it with fat-free cream cheese and could not tell the difference :)
