Banana bread versus graham crackers.
What would you choose?
Me?
Well I do love graham crackers, but I am a banana bread girl at heart. So banana bread all the way.
I think that banana bread was actually one of the first things that I baked on my own. Well, besides chocolate chip cookies, but I have basically been baking those with my mom since I could talk, and by talk I mean make sounds. She’s the queen of all queens when it comes to chocolate chip cookies. Oh and wait, I think blueberry muffins were actually before banana bread, but those were from the good old Betty Crocker box so they only half counts. They were some dang good muffins though.
But anyway, I have always loved baking banana bread.
Little secret though? Eating it straight out of the oven with a fork is the way to go. It’s warm and gooey and… just try it. So good. You’ll never look back.
Alright, so my family’s not real big on cheesecake. Like they actually say they hate it. Except Brendan, Brendan loves cheesecake, and pretty much all the good food that my family will not eat. Too bad Brendan is the brother who doesn’t stay in one place longer than two weeks. So basically he’s never here.
Bummer.
But his travels and taste buds give me good ideas. Whoop, whoop!
Which brings me to banana bread cheesecake. Combining two of Brendan’s favorites into one and adding a fudge swirl… for all the chocolate devotees in this house. Can’t really blame um. Chocolate makes almost anything a little better.
So, with Easter approaching and spring finally here (well for you guys anyway), I felt like cheesecakes would be a good little treat. Yes, you do have to bake the banana bread, but come on, it’s not THAT warm out yet, you can handle it. The is simple and quick and leaves you with a sweet cold treat. Perfect for a sunny spring day.
AND I mean the banana bread is practically good for you, and the cheesecake is all protein. The fudge swirl? Um well, we are a gonna go with the antioxidants on that one.
So basically, you have no excuse not to make these cheesecakes.
Unless of course you hate bananas, like my cousin Maggie, in which case I am going to have to say – you are just weird.

So don’t be weird. Make um.
OMG. This is outta this world, Tieghan! The bread looks nomtastic and those little cheesecakes are oh so swoon-worthy. 🙂
Thanks Julie!
I’m going to have dreams of this tonight. That’s what one would call “sweet dreams” right?
Right! 🙂
Your crazy combos never cease to amaze me! Anything with that much chocolate in it is SO right up my alley! Yum 🙂
Haha! Thanks so much! 🙂
I have some overripe bananas that I was planning on making into bread tonight! Maybe I’ll have to whip this whole thing together instead. Looks delicious!
Oh I hope you do!! Thanks Julie!
Fill a few of these up and send them my way. Oh my yum!
Haha! Wish I could!!
Thanks!
I think I could live off these jars for at least a week! At least!
Haha! Thanks Steph!
Oh, I want a couple of these babies all to myself! Pinning
Thanks Sommer! 🙂
Eating warm banana bread out of the oven sounds so good…this look wonderful.
Thanks so much! Warm banana bread is the best!
I want some of these!
Wish I could share!
HOLY SNOT!! My mother would freak out over that banana bread! (so much chocolate!). I just made muffins out of your graham cracker banana bread recipe yesterday. IF there were leftovers, I would use them for this but, alas…
With that recipe of yours, you wouldn’t have to pick between graham crackers and banana bread! Wonderful!
Haha! So awesome!! Thanks so much!
Yea, this is perfection in my book, can’t wait to make this one!
Thanks Kathy!
Banana bread was one of my first baking projects too. And now I want these for breakfast! I guess that’s ok since there’s fruit?!
Totally ok! “:)
I LOVE cheesecake.
my hubby LOVES ‘nana bread.
we LOVE chocolate.
So, this? It’s perfect! Pinned!
Thanks for pinning taylor!! 🙂
this looks amazing! I love the way you photographed it too! Can you do a post on how you take pictures of your food?
THANK YOU! 🙂
I am not sure about a photography post. Pretty sure I am not informed enough for that!
Haha, oh dear. This is too good. After eating thing, I wouldn’t have to eat for an entire week I guess. Wish I could have this and rmake it but my lactose intollerance won’t let me. Boo.
Oh man! Total bummer! I will have to think up a dairy free version! 🙂
