- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-3/4 cup milk
- 2-1/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
This is one of my favorite breads for gift giving. Get out your trusty big bowl. In it cream together the peanut butter and sugar. Add the vanilla and salt and mix well. Now add half the milk and half the flour, and all of the baking powder. Mix very well. Add the remaining milk and flour, and mix again until the batter is nice and smooth. Turn the mixture into a well oiled 9 by 5-inch loaf pan, or two smaller loaf pans. Bake at 350° for about an hour. Remove from the oven, and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the pan. If you use two smaller loaf pans, 45 minutes will probably be long enough to cook them through. Cool completely before wrapping and storing. These loaves freeze well. I have doubled the recipe with good results, but the one time I tripled it, it didn’t taste quite as good as I expected. I especially like this bread toasted and spread with home made strawberry jelly.
This is a wonderful and frugal bread recipe, as is this one for nearly instant biscuits.
Wow, this peanut butter bread is great. My grand daughters (3 & 6 yrs) can’t get enough of it.
We toast it, then put some peanut butter and strawberry jam on them.
For the girls it’s officially the worlds best PBJ open faced sandwich.
I added an egg and reduced the baking powder to 3 teaspoons. Not bad a little crumbly good with peanut butter and jelly on top. Will make again.
I tried adding more peanut butter and only 3 t of baking powder and still just does not taste good. Healthy does not have to taste like this. I am still mourning the loss of my yummy peanut butter!!!
