Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt, stirring well to distribute all ingredients evenly.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, milk, egg, and vegetable oil until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
  5. Pour batter into pan: Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform baking.
  6. Bake the bread: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
  7. Cool the bread: Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an extra indulgent treat, toast slices and spread with additional peanut butter.
  • Serve warm alongside coffee or tea for a cozy snack.
  • Try topping slices with banana and honey or jelly for delicious variations.
  • Use leftover bread for French toast, bread pudding, or peanut butter bread crumbs for coating meats.
  • Add chocolate chips or peanut butter chips to the batter for a richer flavor.
