Peanut Butter and Jelly Bread

This is one of those 'kid friendly' recipes where I happened to have all of the ingredients in the house.  I must say, this tasted like harder version of peanut butter cookies with a bit of jelly thrown in.  Very good.  (Don't be fooled by this picture,  it did the bread no justice)




1 cup peanut butter
4 tablespoons softened butter
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon  (this makes the bread)
1/2 cup jam

• Preheat oven to 350 bake
• Using a mixer,  beat together peanut butter, butter, eggs and sugar until smooth
• Add baking powder, salt, flour, vanilla and cinnamon.  Mix until well combined
• Spoon half of the batter into a lightly sprayed bread pan
• Spoon jam down the center of the batter
• Add remaining batter to top
• Bake 40-50 minutes, or until the center of the bread springs back to the touch
• Cool on rack, remove
