1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
3/4 stick unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup seedless strawberry jam

In a bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt until blended. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar on medium-high speed with mixer until fluffy. Add egg; beat until blended. Add peanut butter, beat for 2 minutes.

On low-speed, add in flour mixture and beat just until blended. Stir in vanilla.

Spread into pan, bake 30 minutes. Remove from oven, spread evenly with jam and sprinkle with peanuts.

Bake for 5 minute. Cool completely.
