Plantation Peanut Bread

Recipe Description

If you love peanut butter cookies, I think you will like this quick bread that is simple to make with ingredients we all keep in our pantry. Source: Favorite Brand Name BAKE SALE Cookbook.

Preparation Steps:Level of Difficulty:

Easy

Time Needed:

Preparation: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

2 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. sugar
2 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
1 c. Chunky Peanut Butter (creamy will also work)
1 egg
1 c. milk

Serves:

1 loaf

Directions:

In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add peanut butter; mix until crumbly. In small bowl, combine egg and milk; mix well. Add to peanut butter mixture, mix until moistened. Pour batter into greased 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Bake in pre-heated 325°F oven for 50-minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. (Grainlady note: I baked mine until it registered 210°F on my Instant Read Thermometer.) Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes; remove from pan and let cool completely.

(Grainlady note: I used 1 c. freshly-milled whole wheat, 3/4 c. spelt flour, 1/4 c. Hi-Maize Resistant Starch and added 3 T. flaxmeal to increase the fiber and nutrition. I thought it was a little too sweet for us, so I will alter the recipe to use 1/3 c. agave nectar instead of 1 c. sugar the next time.)

This sounds scrumptious. I love peanut butter cookies so I am going to give this a try.

I usually do not make cookies because it is time consuming. I do make cookie bars and quick breads.

This sounds great! Thanks! I have some mini loaf pans, I'm going to try it in those!

Good luck! I sent a loaf out to work with hubby and he said it was gone in 10-minutes.

Oh my goodness. Is this ever good. Fantastic with a cold glass of milk. So very quick to make, I made 3 mini loaves instead of one big one, it took about 40 minutes to cook. Fantabulous, thank you!

Glad you liked it!!! Wish I would have had this recipe when we had kids at home . A great recipe to make with common pantry foods.

It turned out delicious! Hubby and I ate a piece while it was still warm. I am contemplating making the next batch and putting some of my dehydrated bananas in it.

WOO HOO!!! I thought about adding chocolate chips, but dehydrated bananas sounds good too.

Wow! That sounds like something to make to hand out to the bell choir. Thank You for the recipe and for all the add on ideas!

I made it with dehydrated bananas and JUST took it out of the oven. The house smells wonderful! I can't wait to try it.

And it is YUMMY! I had a piece last night and I am getting ready to cut a piece to have with my second cup of coffee.

I'm trying this this weekend!

It's awesome! A definite keeper for me. I had a couple of snack size hershey bars that I just chopped up in small pieces and put in to it. Not huge chunks, but you got a hint of the chocolate flavor, it was great. Thanks again for the recipe, one of my favorites.
