A vintage classic made for modern kitchens, 1927 Peanut Butter Bread is a must-try for fans of easy baking and peanut butter enthusiasts alike.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, mix the milk and creamy peanut butter until smooth and fully combined. You can use a whisk or hand mixer for this step.
Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this could affect the bread’s texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices plain or spread with additional peanut butter, jam, or honey for extra flavor. Enjoy!
