DIVIDE: Pour half the banana batter into a prepared loaf pan and spread with a spatula.

Make the cream cheese filling: To make the cream cheese filling in a medium bowl whisk together the cream cheese, sugar, flour, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and totally smooth. Once fully combined, whisk in the egg until fully combined.

Layer cream cheese filling evenly over mixture in pan.

If you’re just going to store it overnight, you can keep it directly in the loaf pan and just throw a clean kitchen towel over it, or you can put it in an airtight container.
