Equipment

stand mixer
measuring spoons
measuring cups
rubber spatulas
parchment paper
metal loaf pan

Ingredients

¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs beaten
1 ½ cups heavy cream
2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup dry roasted and salted peanuts chopped
½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the granulated sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until creamy.
Add the beaten eggs and heavy cream. Mix until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure ingredients are combined.
Combine the all purpose flour, baking powder and kosher salt.
With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture. Blend just until the ingredients are combined.
Pour the batter in the prepared loaf pan. Evenly sprinkle the peanuts and chocolate chips over the top of the batter and press down lightly.
Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until a long wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with just a few crumbs on it.
Remove the bread from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Let cool about 30 minutes before unmolding.

Notes

A stand mixer is my first option for combining the ingredients, but a hand mixer or good old fashioned wooden spoon and bowl work just as well.
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.
Because peanut butter adds richness and fat, the center of your loaf can sometimes look slightly moist even when it’s fully baked. Don’t worry, that’s normal! If a toothpick comes out clean, it’s done.
To prevent the top from browning too quickly, loosely tent the loaf with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
Always stir your peanut butter well before measuring, especially if using natural peanut butter. If it’s too oily or separated, your bread can turn out greasy. On the flip side, if the batter seems too thick or dry, add a splash of milk to smooth it out.
For the best rise, make sure your baking powder is fresh! Old baking powder is one of the most common reasons for a flat loaf.
