Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 240 grams creamy unsweetened peanut butter
- 120 ml unsweetened apple sauce
- 240 ml milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 50 grams chopped peanuts (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the creamy unsweetened peanut butter and unsweetened apple sauce. Mix well using a wooden spoon or hand mixer until smooth.
Add the milk, vanilla extract, and eggs to the peanut butter mixture. Mix until combined and smooth.
Gradually fold in the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix until the ingredients are just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle chopped peanuts on top for extra texture.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
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.
Slice the bread into 10 servings and enjoy plain or with your favorite topping. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
