  2. 2 Grease two 8 1/2- by 4 1/2-inch loaf pans with cooking spray and set aside.
  3. 3 In a large bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese and sugar until very light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, vanilla and bananas.
  4. 4 In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined.
  5. 5 In a small bowl, mash together the topping ingredients until combined and crumbly.
  6. 6 Divide the batter evenly among the prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle with the topping.
