Description
PB&J Banana Bread is what happens when two classics meet. Traditional banana bread with the childhood favorite PB&J. A super moist, lightly dense and perfectly sweetened banana bread is made with creamy peanut butter and swirled with luscious jam. The loaf is finished with a PB&J drizzle for a banana bread that is as AMAZING as it sounds!
Ingredients
3 c. AP flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. mashed overly ripe bananas (about 4–5 medium bananas)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 c. canola oil
1/2 c. maple syrup
1/2 c. creamy peanut butter (unsweetened) + 3 Tbsp.
1/2 c. berry jam (divided) + 3 Tbsp.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease bottom of 9x5x3-inch loaf pan or line with parchment.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the bananas, eggs, canola oil, maple syrup and 1/2 c. peanut butter. Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until just moistened.
- Spoon half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Make a shallow well in the batter. Spoon 1/4 c. jam in the center well. Evenly spread the remaining batter over the top. Dollop 1/4 c. jam by small spoonful in several spots. Using a butter knife, swirl in a zigzag pattern vertically, then horizontally to create a marble pattern. Resist the urge to over swirl.
- Bake for 55 to 65 minutes. About halfway through, if the loaf looks like it’s getting overly browned, place tented foil over the top of the loaf. When a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out nearly clean, remove from the oven and cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Remove the loaf from pan and let cool completely. Drizzle the remaining 3 tablespoons peanut butter and remaining 3 tablespoons jam over the top of the loaf. Depending on the consistency of the peanut butter and jam, you may need to warm them in the microwave or over stove-top so they drizzle nicely. Enjoy!
