These Banana Cream Cheese Muffins are a wonderful mix of creamy banana flavor with sweet brown sugar and a pecan crunch.
I love these muffins because while I love banana bread, I’m always looking for something new to make with the bananas that are turning brown on my counter. Which happens a lot, let’s be honest.
I love these muffins because they are easy to make. You mix the wet ingredients including the bananas, then mix the dry ingredients and combine and mix together. Add the pecans at the end. Then to make these officially delicious, the cream cheese swirl. Sheet cream cheese mixture swirled in the muffin batter and then baked to perfection.
Yes. lol.
But really, these muffins can be eaten anytime, any way. Perfect for a sweet morning treat or maybe an afternoon snack to tide you over until dinner. Easy to make and full of delicious flavor.
