PEANUT BUTTER BREAD

Packed with peanut butter, this Peanut Butter Bread is a decadent, slightly sweet, quick bread that’s perfect for breakfast, snacking, or dessert!

To clear up any confusion, this doesn’t have bananas in it. Although the addition of bananas sounds wonderful, doesn’t it?

We love all things peanut butter in this house: cookies, bread, sandwiches, and even a big dollop of peanut butter on a spoon!

PEANUT BUTTER BREAD

Frankly, I love the simplicity of just the peanut butter flavor. Since children typically don’t like multiple combinations of flavors in their foods, it suits them well. However, if you’re serving adults, you can add other combinations of ingredients that pair well with peanut butter.

1. Try adding 1/4 cup chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, or cinnamon chips to the batter.
2. Additionally, 1/4 cup of coarsely chopped pecans, peanuts, or walnuts will add a nice texture to the bread.
3. Try toasting the bread with a smear of butter.
4. Make cinnamon toast using this bread instead of white bread.
5. As well, you can make muffins using this batter. Evenly divide the dough in a 12-cup muffin tin. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes for regular-size muffins. For mini-muffins, the cooking time is 10 to 12 minutes. (Cooking times for muffins depend on the muffin tin size and how much you put in them. Muffin tins don’t come in standard sizes.)
6. Banana Bread Bananas Foster is a delicious way to enjoy this bread as a dessert!

To store, wrap tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It’ll stay fresh 3 days on the countertop.

As well you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

This quick bread freezes wonderfully; simply wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, then place it in a freezer or ziptop bag. It’ll stay fresh for up to three months in the freezer.
