Peanut Butter Bread – sounds delicious, doesn’t it? It’s a moist, little dense, yet delicious bread. You only need some jelly to slather on a slice of this bread and you have a PBJ ready to go! This can easily be a breakfast staple for sure.
This is a quick bread recipe with the texture similar to a banana bread. The bread uses peanut butter as the primary source of fat along with sour cream. Sour cream provides the best of both worlds – acidity and fat. This results in a richer and moist bread. Brown sugar adds more flavour and moisture. All-in-all a good wholesome bread!
You can also add some complexity to the flavours of this peanut butter bread by adding some chocolate chips (like I did on top, you can mix in the batter too), because who doesn’t like the combo of peanut butter and chocolate!
This recipe makes a standard 9″x5″ loaf.
