Deliciously Tasty Peanut Butter Bread

Great eaten on it's own fresh from the oven - or with a filling ... or even toasted - this recipe for Peanut Butter bread is a winner all round !

This peanut butter bread is more like a cake-y bread than a bread, if you know what I mean ! I’ve been making it recently to put in my daughter’s school lunchbox – she likes it plain but you could also add fillings such as jam or cheese. It’s also great toasted for breakfast !


Peanut Butter Bread (from ‘Cook and Enjoy It’ by S.J.A. de Villers)

500 ml (2 cups) Cake Flour, sifted
125 ml (1/2 cups) Sugar
10 ml (2 tsps) Baking Powder
5 ml (1 tsp) Salt
190 ml (3/4 cup) Smooth Peanut Butter*
1 Egg, well beaten
190 – 250 ml (3/4 to 1 cup) Milk

Preheat the oven to 180’C/350'F/Gas Mark 4 and grease a small loaf tin in advance. Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Blend the peanut butter with the dry ingredients using a fork. Blend in the egg, still using a fork. Add the milk, mix well and turn the mixture into the tin. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Slice and butter.

* I used crunchy Peanut Butter along with a large handful of roughly chopped pean
