Here is a little sweet treat that is not a bad snack for the kids as well yourself! Skip the Starbucks version and make these at home for a fraction of the price and calories! Now be aware that this is not going to be that really oily type of banana bread it will be much drier but with huge flavor and the cream cheese frosting will give it the moisture it needs... or a load of butter :)

Ingredients

Lemon Cream Cheese

Directions

Start by making the cream cheese frosting combine all the ingredients and mix well. Check for taste adjust as you like more sugar more lemon etc. Set aside in the fridge.

Now mix all the dry ingredients together and then incorporate the wet ingredients making sure to really mash the bananas and mix well with a wooden spoon or use your hand (which I did)

Now into any size pan greased with olive oil pan and into a 350 degree oven until a wooden skewer comes out clean around 20-40 min. All depending on if its one large bread loaf pan or its split up into smaller portions. During baking when its looking almost done drizzle honey on top and let bake for a few min.

Take out let rest for 15 min before removing from the pans. Slice and slather a good amount of the lemon cream cheese on and finish with some grated lemon zest.

Enjoy!
