Unique PBJ & Banana Bread

Adapted from Healthy Food for Living and Lucky Taste Buds

1 cup unbleached all purpose flour 

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

3/4 to 1/2 cup organic sugar (depending on your taste)

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 cup fat free or 2% milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1/2 cup all-natural organic peanut butter

1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 medium banana, mashed

2 tablespoons canola oil

1/3 cup jam of your choice (See note)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Brush a loaf pan with canola oil.  Stir all the dry ingredients (flour through baking powder) in a large bowl.  Combine all the wet ingredients (milk through canola oil) in a medium bowl and stir to mix well.  Pour wet ingredients into dry and combine until just moistened.  Pour the batter in a loaf.  Bake in oven for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of bread comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.  Enjoy!

Note:  Oops! I made a little mistake...I poured all of the batter!  I should have poured half the batter into a loaf pan and spread a layer of jam over the top of the batter. Then pour the remaining batter on top of the jam. This bread without a jam came out great though. 

Guess...next time I will have to remember to use a jam when making another batch.
