Add 1/3 cup of vegetable oil to the wet ingredients.

Add 2 eggs to the mixture.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Add 2/3 cup of white granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of light brown sugar to the wet ingredients.

Mix in 1/2 cup of sweetened coconut flakes and 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts.

In another bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon; whisk to combine.

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in parts to avoid overmixing.

Prepare the cream cheese layer by mixing 4 ounces of cream cheese with 3 tablespoons of flour, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl.

Spray a loaf pan with nonstick spray and add 2/3 of the banana bread batter.

Add the cream cheese layer on top of the batter, followed by the remaining banana bread batter.

Use toothpicks to swirl the cream cheese layer into the batter.

Tap the loaf pan to settle the batter.

Bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 50 to 60 minutes, checking for doneness.

After 60 minutes, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool before slicing.
