In another bowl add flour protein powder baking powder baking soda salt and cinnamon.
Stir the dry ingredients together with a spoon.
Slowly add the dry mix into the wet mixture.
Fold gently until no dry flour is visible.
Do not overmix the batter.
Overmixing can make the bread dense.
The batter should look thick but smooth.
Set this bowl aside while you prepare the cheesecake layer.
This short rest helps the batter settle.
Now move to the next step.
To make the cheesecake layer place cream cheese in a bowl.
Make sure it is soft at room temperature.
Add Greek yogurt honey egg and vanilla essence.
Use a whisk or spoon to mix until smooth.
The mixture should be creamy and without lumps.

Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared pan.
Spread it gently with a spoon.
Next pour the cheesecake mixture on top.
Spread it evenly over the batter.
Then add the remaining banana bread batter on top.

If you like you can swirl the top slightly for a marbled look.
Be gentle so the layers stay visible.
Place the pan in the center of the oven.
Bake for about fifty to sixty minutes.
Check the bread after fifty minutes.
Insert a toothpick into the center.
If it comes out mostly clean the bread is ready.
If not bake for a few more minutes.
Once baked remove the pan from the oven.
Let it cool in the pan for twenty minutes.
