INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed bananas
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIRECTIONS:
Cream the butter or margarine and cream cheese together.
Gradually add the white sugar, and continue beating until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla.
Add flour, baking powder, and soda; mix until batter is just moist.

In a small bowl, mix together chopped pecans,
2 tablespoons brown sugar, and cinnamon.

Divide 1/2 batter into two greased and floured 8x4 inch loaf pans.

Sprinkle pecan mixture over batter in pans,
and top with remaining batter.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
