Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir until just combined. Don't over mix. Pour the banana bread batter into a greased spring form pan and bake for 30 - 40 minutes or until the top is set.
Cheesecake Layer: In a large bowl add the softened cream cheese, sugar and Mango Whole Fruit Vinegar. Whisk until combined. Microwave the milk until hot for about 2 minutes and add in the gelatin powder. Quickly stir until gelatin is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Pour the gelatin mixture over the cream cheese and whisk again until smooth.
