Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas, mashed The riper the bananas, the sweeter your bread will be!
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • pinch salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter Creamy peanut butter is recommended, but crunchy can be used for added texture.
  • 1/4 cup jelly (your choice of flavor)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter until well combined.
  3. Mix in the baking soda and salt. Then add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla—stir until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the peanut butter until fully incorporated into the batter.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, then dollop the jelly over it. Top with the remaining batter, ensuring the jelly is added in a few places on the top for that signature look.
Baking
  1. Place your loaf in the oven and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Let your bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy.
