Peanut butter bread is an easy to make peanut butter quick bread with a soft, moist and nutty interior and a wonderfully toasted exterior.

Make this old fashioned peanut butter bread truly decadent by topping it your favorite spread such as peanut butter and honey.
Equipment
- 1 9X5 loaf pan (aluminum pan recommended)
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 whisk and flexible spatula or spoon
Ingredients
- 2 cups (240 g) all purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar
- 1 cup (264 g) creamy peanut butter
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (237 ml) milk, room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F (170 C). Line a 9 x 5 loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on two sides.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together until well combined. Set aside.2 cups (240 g) all purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the peanut butter and sugars together until smooth and well combined. Whisk in the eggs until well combined, followed by the milk until smooth and fully combined.½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar, ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar, 1 cup (264 g) creamy peanut butter, 2 large eggs, room temperature, 1 cup (237 ml) milk, room temperature
- Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Evenly pour the peanut butter batter into the prepared pan. Using the back of a spoon or with the side of a flexible spatula, smooth out the top of the bread.
- Bake the peanut butter bread for 40 - 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the peanut butter loaf comes out with a few moist crumbs. If the top looks like it’s browning too much for your tastes, top the bread with a foil tent and continue to bake until the bread is fully baked through.
- Cool the bread in the loaf pan for 15 minutes. Use the parchment sling to lift the bread out of the pan. Cool completely before slicing the topping with your preferred toppings. I love topping my bread with more peanut butter, honey and chopped peanuts. Enjoy!
Notes
Store: Place slices of the peanut butter loaf bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Then transfer the bread to the fridge for an additional 2 - 3 days.
