  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 10 slices

Ingredients

  • Flour: 2 cups – The base of the loaf, providing structure and texture.
  • Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon – Helps the loaf rise and gives it a light texture.
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon – Enhances the peanut butter flavor and balances sweetness.
  • Peanut Butter: 1 cup – The star of the show, providing a rich, creamy texture and flavor.
  • Sugar: 1 cup – Adds sweetness and contributes to the loaf’s moisture.
  • Eggs: 2 large – Bind the ingredients together and help the loaf rise.
  • Milk: 1/2 cup – Adds moisture to the batter and helps the loaf stay soft.
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon – Enhances the flavor and complements the peanut butter.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Finishing Touches: Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the loaf into thick pieces and serve as a snack, dessert, or breakfast treat. Enjoy it plain, or top with your favorite spread.

Notes

  • For an extra burst of flavor, add chocolate chips or swirl in some jelly before baking.
  • Use room-temperature ingredients for the best texture.
  • Let the loaf cool completely before slicing to ensure clean, perfect slices.
