Peanut Butter Bread Recipe

The first time I made this Peanut Butter Bread recipe was oh so looooooong ago. One of my daughters is a peanut butter loving gal, and this quick bread was and still is the perfect snack for her. I love having a homemade baked good for when guests are staying at our house. So when she arrived yesterday for an extended Thanksgiving visit, I surprised her with a warm loaf of peanut butter bread.

This not-so-sweet quick bread is so warm and cozy! The peanut butter flavor is not overwhelming, but ensures the bread moist and dense. A generous topping of crunchy and salty dry roasted peanuts and semi sweet chocolate chips make for a sweet breakfast treat or delectable dessert served warm with a scoop of ice cream.

how to make peanut butter quick bread

• If you are a novice or seasoned baker, this quick and easy peanut butter bread recipe is for you. With common pantry and refrigerator ingredients, it will take only a few minutes to mix up the batter.
• Start by preheating the oven and prepping the loaf pan. Grease a standard 9 by 5 inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
• Combine and mix granulated sugar, creamy peanut butter, and vanilla extract.
• Add beaten eggs and light cream and mix to combine.
• Whisk together all purpose flour, baking powder and kosher salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Now for the fun part! Sprinkle the top of the batter with a generous amount of chopped roasted and salted peanuts and semi sweet chocolate chips and press them down lightly.
• Bake until the peanut butter bread is golden brown. Check for doneness with a long wooden toothpick. When it comes out clean when inserted into the center of the loaf, the bread is done. Cool the bread in the pan on a cooling rack for about 30 minutes before unmolding and slicing.

chef baking tips for making the best peanut butter bread recipe

• A stand mixer is my first choice for mixing up the batter. But a hand mixer or wooden spoon and bowl work just as well.
• Use creamy, full fat peanut butter for this recipe. The bread does not contain any additional fat such as butter or oil. The full fat peanut butter ensures the bread is moist and delicious.
• Light cream adds extra richness to the bread, but whole milk is a good substitute.
• Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally when mixing the batter to ensure all of the ingredients are fully incorporated.
• Use a long wooden toothpick or skewer to check if the bread is done. If the pick comes out clean or with a few crumbs on it, the peanut butter bread is ready.

What is the best way to store peanut butter bread? When the quick bread is completely cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap the loaf in plastic wrap and place in a resealable bag. For the best flavor, enjoy your peanut butter bread within 2 months.
