Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 medium over-ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons milk (if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the over-ripe bananas. Then add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture until just combined; fold in chopped pecans.
  5. In another medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Mix in the granulated sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined; if too thick, add milk gradually until desired consistency is achieved.
  6. Fill each muffin liner about 3/4 full with the banana batter. Top each with about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture, swirling it gently into the batter with a toothpick.
  7. Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let muffins cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
