"FAVORITE BANANA BREAD"

From kraftfoods.com

1 pkg. (8 oz.) Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped walnut pieces (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Beat cream cheese, butter and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.  Add bananas and eggs; mix well.  Add combined dry ingredients; mix just until moistened.  Stir in walnuts, if using.

Pour into greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.

Bake 1 hour 10 min. or until wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool 5 min.; remove from pan to wire rack.  Cool completely before slicing to serve.  Store any leftover bread in refrigerator.
