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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Beat in the peanut butter until fully combined and smooth.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Add additional dollops of jelly on top of the loaf and lightly swirl for a decorative finish, if desired.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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.
