I love banana cheesecake and I love banana bread...so why not combine the two? This recipe combines two very simple recipes into one great dessert. The bread is moist and the taste of bananas is strong and perfect.

Start off with making the banana bread batter: Preheat the oven at 325 degrees. Crush up two bananas into puree and mix with 1 stick of butter, 1 cup of sugar, and then 2 eggs. Add 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking soda, and 2 cups all purpose flour.

That's it! Told you it was simple.

Now the Cheesecake

Mix 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1/2 of a banana pureed, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 egg, 2 tbsp flour, and 1 tsp vanilla. And that's the cheesecake!

Pour into a greased pan of your choosing. I used two different pans. One pretty mini cake pan and a loaf pan. So for the mini cakes I poured a bit of banana bread batter in the bottom, then poured a bit of cheesecake batter, then topped it off with more banana bread batter. For the loaf pan I poured the cheesecake batter into the banana bread batter bowl and swirled it with a spoon. Don't mix it together fully. Just swirl it around so the cheesecake makes a nice swirly line. Then gently pour it into your loaf pan. Bake until you can insert a toothpick and have it come out clean. 20 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the pan you use.

The Mini Banana Cheesecake, Banana Bread Swirl With Caramelized Bananas

To caramelize bananas: Cut banana into small slices. Throw in a pan with melted butter mixed with 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Cook for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. I topped the banana bread/cheesecake swirl and drizzled a little honey over top.
