Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Grape or strawberry jelly
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray. Optionally, line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Beat in the peanut butter until fully combined and smooth.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Drop dollops of jelly over the batter and lightly swirl with a knife. Pour the remaining batter on top and gently smooth the surface.
Add additional dollops of jelly on top of the loaf and lightly swirl for a decorative finish, if desired.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
