Banana Bread Cheesecake

Do you love banana bread AND cheesecake? Have you ever tried them infused together topped with a rich spiced buttery caramel sauce with a crunchy texture of toffee and walnuts?? Well, my friend you have never been to Heaven. I’ve become extremely obsessed with making cheesecakes and I need this to stop lol.  I’m not gonna lie I spent most of my life hating cheesecake, until I learned to make them myself now I can’t stop.  So, don’t be surprised nor mad at me when y’all get a million different cheesecake recipes this holiday season (I’m kidding).  You’ll need to make my banana bread first (I’ve inserted the recipe for you) and then make the cheesecake. Let me know what recipes y’all want this season, next up will be a lobster Mac that will make you wanna slap ya mama lol.

Love y’all, until next time *kisses*

4. Stir in your sifted flour, baking soda and salt being sure not to over mix.
5. Pour mix into greased loaf or cupcake tin and bake for about an hour or until toothpick comes out clean. Bake longer if needed but, be sure to keep a close eye on your bread if it over bakes it’ll be dry.

Recipe Notes

How to make browned butter: In a small sauce pan heat butter over a medium high heat until you see brown bits start to form. Be sure to stir every few minutes so that your butter doesn’t burn.

DO NOT OVER MIX or your bread will turn out tough and ain’t nobody got time for that! lol

You can customize your bread by adding chocolate chips or any nut that you want, you most definitely don't have to use macadamia nuts.  I like to use pecans sometimes also.
