Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 3-4 pieces Ripe Bananas Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter Adds richness and flavor; choose creamy or chunky.
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the batter; reduce if using very ripe bananas.
  • 1/3 cup Melted Butter Ensures a tender crumb; coconut oil works well for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Boosts flavor complexity; opt for pure vanilla for the best taste.
  • 1 large Egg Binds the ingredients; a flax egg is a great vegan alternative.
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; substitute with half whole wheat flour for extra fiber.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Gives the bread its rise; be sure it's fresh.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Elevates the overall flavor of the bread.
For the Swirls
  • 1/4 cup Jelly (any flavor) Adds sweetness and enhances visual appeal.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Peanut Butter & Jelly Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash 3-4 ripe bananas until smooth. Mix in ½ cup peanut butter, ¾ cup sugar, ⅓ cup melted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 egg.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan, add dollops of ¼ cup jelly, and swirl it into the batter.
  6. Add the remaining batter over the jelly, with more dollops of jelly on top and swirl gently.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
