Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas Bananas should be overripe for best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup sugar Regular granulated sugar or brown sugar.
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter Can use crunchy if preferred.
  • 1/2 cup jelly or jam Flavor of your choice.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
  3. Stir in the sugar and softened butter until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour. Gradually add this dry mixture to the banana mixture and stir until just combined.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Spoon the peanut butter on top of the batter, and then swirl it lightly with a knife.
  8. Add the remaining banana batter on top, followed by spooning dollops of jelly on top and swirling it gently.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Warm the peanut butter for 10 seconds to help it swirl better. To make mini loaves, adapt the recipe as needed. This bread freezes well; wrap slices tightly and thaw as needed.
