Peanut Butter Bread
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Original Notes: Mix as directed, lightly rubbing the peanut butter into the flour mixture. Bake in a moderately slow oven (325 to 350) for one hour
  2. For a richer Peanut Butter bread, with a more cake-like texture, use 2 eggs. Reduce baking powder to 3 teaspoons and milk to 1 cup. Increase sugar to 1/2 cup. Raisins may also be added, if desired.
Recipe Notes

Stacy’s Notes:

  • I found this posted online and thought it looked intriguing. The original poster said it was from a cookbook from the 1930’s! 🙂 She said she made the optional version using the 2 eggs, so I did that (and realized afterwards that I didn’t follow the rest of the notes about decreasing the baking powder and milk and increasing the sugar, so that was user error on my part!)
  • The original recipe didn’t contain a pan size, so I guessed with an 8 1/2″ loaf pan and it was the right size. I also chose the lower temp and baked for an hour.  It passed the toothpick test.
  •  We thought it needed more sugar, or maybe jelly on it, was plain and lacking without a topping. So we ate our slices with jelly and it was good!
  • Also, I stored the leftovers at room temperature and after a few days, it got really wonky, so store in fridge in the future. Tim liked it!
