Creamy Crunchy Banana Nut Bread

I have this banana nut bread in the oven right now. It smells so good and I can't wait to have a piece of it with my coffee.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups white sugar
3 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 eggs
3 ripe bananas (mashed)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped

Directions:

Sift together flour, baking powder, and soda; in a separate bowl and set aside.

In mixing bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese together. Gradually add both sugars and continue beating until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the mashed bananas, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and walnuts..
Add flour mixture; mix until batter is just moist.
Divide 1/2 the batter into two greased and floured 8x4 inch loaf pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Enjoy,

Deborah
