Next add mashed bananas and mix well. In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to wet ingredients and mix until incorporated. Pour mixture into prepared pan.

To make the frosting, melt butter in a medium sauce pan.

Personal
Notes: I was looking for a recipe, other than banana nut bread, that uses overripe bananas and cream cheese. I googled it and came up with this recipe from https://www.lecremedelacrumb.com
Note: It was delicious but way too much frosting. Suggest cutting down on the amount of frosting.
