Place butter and cream cheese in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until well blended and fluffy.

Add eggs and sugar and beat again until mixed.
2 cups granulated sugar, 2 large eggs
Add in flour, bananas, 1 cup of chopped pecans, and spices. Mix until fully incorporated. Bananas will still have some chunks and the batter will be thick.
Spray two 9x5 loaf pans liberally with baking spray. Divide the mixture evenly among the greased loaf pans. Sprinkle with topping mixture and remaining pecans.
1.5 cups chopped pecans
Bake at 350 for one hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cover with foil after 30 minutes to prevent pecans from burning.
Allow it to cool in the pan for ten minutes before turning it out. Enjoy!
