This quick bread recipe is suitable for any occasion. Ready in only one hour, this peanut butter bread is suitable for breakfast, snacks, or even as part of a simple meal. It is better consumed a day later.
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease or cover with parchment paper a 9.5x5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.
Add the peanut butter and milk, and beat well to obtain a smooth batter.
Spoon the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes to an hour. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf; if it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve as desired.
Notes
Let the baked bread rest overnight for cleaner slices, and always use a serrated knife.
You can freeze slices for up to a month—thaw as needed.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for about three days.
