PEANUT BUTTER BREAD INGREDIENTS

You will need: 

• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• 1 ½ cups flour
• ½ cup old fashioned oats
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS

Egg: Substitute eggs using ¼ cup (approximately 65 grams) of applesauce or ¼ cup of pureed bananas. Be cautious, as substituting with these ingredients will change the end flavor slightly.

Chocolate Chips: Add chocolate chips in with the batter. Add as many or as few as you prefer, and even try different flavors of chips such as butterscotch.

Nuts: You can add peanuts to give this recipe a bit of crunch. Crush them and mix them into the batter or sprinkle a few on top.

Milk: You can substitute almond or other nut or soy milk varieties in this recipe, but the substitute milk may be a bit thinner, so add it slowly. You may want to add a little less than 1 cup.

HOW TO MAKE THIS PEANUT BUTTER BREAD RECIPE

PRO TIP: This recipe calls for room temperature eggs. If you forgot to let yours sit out beforehand, run a bowl of warm water and place your eggs (in the shells) inside the bowl for about 5 minutes. The water should be like a warm bath for a child – not too hot! You don’t want to cook the eggs.

STEP ONE: To prepare, move the oven rack to the center of your oven. Preheat to 350 degrees.

STEP TWO: Prepare an 8×4 loaf pan by spraying the pan lightly with nonstick spray and then placing a piece of parchment paper into the pan.

STEP THREE: Pour the milk, sugar, peanut butter, and eggs into a heavy-duty blender or food processor. Process for 1 to 2 minutes until a smooth batter forms. Adjust the time based on the strength of your appliance.

PRO TIP: If you want the peanut butter to slide out of the measuring cup easily, give the measuring cup a light coating of non-stick spray first.

PRO TIP: If you plan to use the same measuring cup for the milk and peanut butter, start with the milk, then add the peanut butter next, so it’s easier to measure your milk.

STEP FOUR: Next add the flour, oats, baking powder, and salt to the mix. Again, process until smooth, about 1 minute.

PRO TIP: If your appliance is lower wattage, add the dry ingredients gradually.

STEP FIVE: When your batter is smooth, pour it into the prepared loaf pan.

STEP SIX: Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with just a few crumbs on it.

PRO TIP: Set a timer for 50 minutes. At that time, check the bread to make sure the top is not getting too brown. If it is, you can cover it loosely with foil. Then continue baking.

STEP SEVEN: Remove from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes on a cooling rack before removing.

 STEP EIGHT: Allow the loaf to completely cool before slicing! Serve and enjoy!

STORAGE

IN THE FRIDGE: In an airtight container, leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. 

IN THE FREEZER: Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. You might want to wrap it in plastic wrap to help it stay fresh. 

After one short hour, this recipe rewards you with a soft, moist, and delicious nutty snack that could make even Paula Deen jealous. Your whole family will want to eat this peanut butter bread warm out of the oven. Top with your favorite jelly for an extra sweet treat!
