Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients:

    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the Batter:

    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    • In another bowl, beat peanut butter, brown sugar, and honey until smooth.
    • Add eggs, milk, and vanilla, mixing until fully combined.
    • Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring until just combined.
  • Bake the Bread:

    • Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
    • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    • Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
  • Do not overmix – This keeps the bread tender.
  • Let it cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
