Description
Peanut butter bread is a comforting, no-yeast quick bread with a rich, nutty flavor and a moist, slightly sweet crumb, perfect for breakfast or snacks.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use creamy, shelf-stable peanut butter for the best texture.
- Substitute whole wheat flour or reduce sugar for a healthier version.
- Try adding chocolate chips, nuts, or a swirl of jam for variety.
- To make muffins, bake in a lined muffin tin for 18–22 minutes at 350°F.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
