Who else grew up on PB&J sandwiches??? Well… it just got an upgrade.
Instead up whipping up a sandwich, we simply (but not simply because it’s genius) baked the peanut butter and jelly INTO the bread.
Yup, I went there.
I really can’t take all the credit. This combo has been around for so long that there are a million different variations on the interwebz. I CAN, however, take credit for this loaf being delicious AF.
Before we get ahead of ourselves, for this recipe I used one of my other recipes. I used my 3-Ingredient Blueberry Jam to create this masterpiece but swapped out a few key ingredients:
-Instead of the blueberries – I used 2 cups of frozen raspberries
-Instead of date syrup – I used honey (I KNOW, not all vegans use honey. Use maple syrup if honey isn’t in your diet)
That’s it! My jam recipe can be made in about ten minutes but it does need to cool COMPLETELY to be used in this PB&J bread so plan your time accordingly.
Of course, if there’s a jam that you rather use, use that instead! All I care about is that this bread makes it into your life ASAP!
