Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the low-fat peanut butter with the honey and unsweetened applesauce until creamy and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract, skim milk, and egg to the peanut butter mixture, and stir until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold everything together using a spatula, ensuring not to over-mix, which could make the bread dense.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as a delightful, low-fat snack or breakfast option. Enjoy!
