Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Mash three ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  3. Mix in creamy peanut butter, sugar, and melted butter until well combined and smooth.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract and crack in one egg, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture.
  6. Pour half of your batter into the prepared loaf pan. Add spoonfuls of jelly on top and swirl gently.
  7. Layer the remaining batter over the first layer and add more jelly to swirl on top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
