Peanut Butter and Jelly Banana Bread Recipe

Banana bread goes back to school with a peanut butter twist and a raspberry jam swirl in this Peanut Butter and Jelly Banana Bread Recipe.

There is just something so classic about the combination of peanut butter and jelly! And I love a good pb&j sandwich, but turning it into something else (like this banana bread recipe!) is so much fun! If you want more peanut butter and jelly recipes, try this Peanut Butter and Jelly Dip or this Peanut Butter and Jelly Thumbprint Cookie Recipe.

I know what you are thinking – another banana bread recipe? But I say – is there really such thing as too many banana bread recipes? I think not!! Especially when you get peanut butter and jelly involved.

I seem to be on this endless quest lately to use up overripe bananas in a different way every time. I admit that I’ll never stop making my traditional Banana Bread recipe. But food is supposed to be fun, so why not jazz it up with peanut butter and jelly?

How to Make Peanut Butter and Jelly Banana Bread

MIX: In one bowl, mix together the dry ingredients, then in another bowl, mix together the wet ingredients.

COMBINE: Mix the wet and dry ingredients together, then fold in the peanuts.

ASSEMBLE: Pour half of the batter in a loaf pan, then dollop half of the jam over it. Drag a knife through the jam to spread and marble it. Add the rest of the batter, then repeat with the jam.

BAKE: Bake the bread until a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.

DRIZZLE: Once the bread has baked and cooled, heat the last 2 tablespoons of jam and drizzle it over the top of the bread.

Tips and Tricks

• Don’t overmix your batter. It will not be as tender.
• I used raspberry preserves, but you really could use any kind of jam that you like.
• If you aren’t eating the bread right away, wait to add the jam to the top. It will get a bit messy if you store it with the jam drizzled on the top.
• Store the bread in a bread bag or in a container with a lid for up to 4 days.

Ingredients

• ▢ 2 cups all-purpose flour
