Description

This Peanut Butter Bread recipe is a moist, delicious treat perfect for breakfast or a snack. Made with creamy peanut butter, oats, and a blend of simple pantry ingredients, it offers a rich, nutty flavor with a soft texture. The bread is easy to prepare using a blender or food processor and baked to golden perfection, making it an ideal homemade nutty loaf to enjoy plain or with your favorite toppings.


Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1½ cups flour
  • ½ cup old fashioned oats
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Move the oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare Pan: Lightly spray an 8x4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease removal.
  3. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a heavy-duty blender or food processor, combine the milk, sugar, peanut butter, and eggs. Process for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy, depending on your appliance’s strength.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, oats, baking powder, and salt to the blender. Process again until the batter is smooth, about 1 minute. For lower wattage appliances, add dry ingredients gradually to avoid overworking the motor.
  5. Pour Batter: Pour the smooth batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
  7. Cool in Pan: Remove the bread from the oven and let it rest in the pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes to set.
  8. Cool Completely: Carefully remove the bread from the pan and allow it to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy with optional toppings like peanut butter, jelly, or sliced bananas.

Notes

  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature to help create a smooth batter.
  • If using a blender with lower power, add dry ingredients gradually to avoid overloading.
  • Optional toppings such as jelly, sliced bananas, or extra peanut butter enhance the flavor.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
