Combine two delicious desserts by mixing cheesecake filling into banana bread batter, then bake in a skillet, and top with dulce de leche.
Jump to RecipeBanana Bread is one of the most-made recipes at our house. Tyler and Ryan will ask us to get extra bananas just to let them ripen enough to make the bread. While a regular loaf is great, we like to try something different now and then, too. We’ve made Banana Bread Bars before, and this time I wanted to make it into a Banana Bread Cheesecake.
A couple of months ago, I saw a recipe video on facebook that I have long since lost the link to. The video had cheesecake filling mixed with banana bread batter and baked in a skillet. Since I couldn’t find the recipe, we just mixed our recipe for banana bread with a cheesecake recipe and went from there.
The boys still prefer regular banana bread since they can eat it for breakfast, but this was a welcome dessert. One thing the video did not show was any type of topping, but it needed something. I had some Dulce de Leche in the fridge from making Hot Apple Cider and it was a perfect topping. If you don’t have Dulce de Leche, caramel topping is a good substitute.

Banana Bread Cheesecake Step by Step
Ingredients
Banana Bread Batter
- 3 bananas (overripe)
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp butter (softened)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Cheesecake Filling
- 6 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/8 tsp salt
Topping
- 4 tbsp dulce de leche

Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350F. Prepare the banana bread batter by mashing the ripened bananas in a large mixing bowl. I like to use the whisk on my stand mixer for this, but it isn’t necessary. Add the sugar, eggs, butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until they are thoroughly combined.

Mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt until they are well combined and form a batter.

Gently fold in the chocolate chips and pour this into an oven-safe 10″ skillet.


In a medium mixing bowl, make the cheesecake filling by combining the cream cheese, egg, sugar, flour, and salt.

Spoon the cream cheese filling over the banana bread mixture.

Use a butter knife to gently mix the cream cheese filling into the banana bread without completely combining the two together.

Bake for about 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Drizzle with Dulce de Leche or another caramel topping and serve warm.

Oh wow, this really does sound heavenly. I have made banana bread before but never banana bread cheesecake, What a lovely new adaptation, I bet my kids and husband would love it.
It was new for us, too, and we loved it! We eat banana bread all the time but hadn’t tried it as a cake before this so were so excited.
Wow – this sounds so good! I am going to have to make this cheesecake this weekend – my family will love it!
It was different from any I’d had before, but it’s so yummy!
Wow! this is something new to me…Banana bread cheesecake. My family would love this they’re always in for something new. Thanks for sharing!
It was completely new for us, too, and we really enjoyed the cheesecake since banana bread is a favorite in our house.
Love banana bread, my hubby likes cheese cake- I may have found a compromise!!
Oh man, this sounds like a perfect dessert for you to make together, then!
Ohhh I never would have thought to mix the two like this, it’s brilliant. And definitely something I want to make!
I wasn’t sure about it, but we all loved it. The boys still said they like regular banana bread, but I don’t think I’ll ever change their minds on that no matter how I make it!
You had me at banana bread but then cheesecake? GIMME! Seriously girl this looks and sounds amazing!
I know! It was so good. I love cheesecake, so this was fun for something very different than usual.
What an interesting combo! Would never have thought to mix banana bread with cheesecake mix! Looks delish!
I wouldn’t have either until I saw that recipe video. It was interesting and different, but so yummy.
You know that I will make this with my younger daughter Yanah. She loves banana bread which we make often. She would love this recipe.
Sounds like a great idea! I’m sure Yanah would love this one then.
I am going to try this out. I love banana bread!
We make banana bread at least once a month here, probably closer to twice per month if I actually count it out. This was so good for something different.
So banana bread and cheesecake are basically the best things ever. Together…this sounds like PERFECTION!
I know! Banana bread is a favorite of the boys, and cheesecake is my husband’s favorite, so it was a great way for them all to have a dessert they loved.
I love banana’s for their high potassium value. Banana bread is soooo good it’s right up there with corn bread. And you now are introducing banana bread cheese cake!! Wow, probably a food that me and my girlfriend can agree on that we’d like!!
We eat a lot of bananas in our house, too. And banana bread is a favorite in my family. Adding it to cheesecake was such a different and yummy way to enjoy it.
Banana bread and cheese cake combo? How divine. I would love to taste that delicious dessert.
Yes! It was such a great dessert. We will definitely be making it again at some point!
