Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cup Sugar
- 1.25 cups Plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Crushed peanuts or chopped peanuts (optional, for topping or mixing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the plant-based milk, peanut butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to denser bread.
If you'd like an extra peanut crunch, fold in the crushed or chopped peanuts at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle additional crushed peanuts on top for decoration.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your vegan peanut bread as is, or serve it with a spread of vegan butter or jam!
