Ingredients

Scale

FOR THE BREAD:

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

FOR THE JELLY SWIRL:

  • 1/4 cup jelly or jam (grape, strawberry, or your favorite flavor)

Instructions

  1. PREPARE THE BATTER: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the peanut butter, sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and egg until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  2. LAYER THE BATTER AND JELLY: Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Dollop teaspoons of jelly over the batter in several spots. Using the tip of a butter knife or a toothpick, gently swirl the jelly through the batter, ensuring distinct streaks without blending completely.
  3. ADD THE SECOND LAYER: Pour the remaining batter over the jelly layer and smooth it with a spatula. Repeat the jelly-swirl process by dolloping more jelly on top and swirling it gently to create marbled patterns.
  4. BAKE THE BREAD: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
