Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla; set aside.
In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy; add eggs one at a time. Mix in bananas and yogurt.
Gradually combine dry ingredients into wet mixture until just mixed.
Layer half the batter in the pan, spread cream cheese filling, sprinkle cinnamon sugar mix, then top with remaining batter.
Use a knife to create swirls in the batter. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
