Another Great Banana-nut Bread Recipe

You'll REALLY never go back to your old recipe once you try this one....It is great as muffins too and stays moist for over a week in an air tight container.

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 (8oz.) pkg cream cheese
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
3 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (4 medium)
1 cup chopped pecans or favorite nut
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating just until blended each time. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients and gradually add to butter mixture until just blended. Add bananas, nuts, and vanilla. Goes well into 2 8x4 inch loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Shield with aluminum foil for last 15 minutes to prevent browning. (also makes about 24 muffins, but only bake for 25 minutes)
Enjoy!
