Recipe adapted from A
Pretty Life in the Suburbs
I subscribe to a cooking/craft/just
about anything blog that is fantastic. She has ideas that are simply amazing. I
am in the process of actually creating my own Christmas stockings for this year
based off a post she wrote and they are just turning out beautiful. Well, the
hubs loves loves peanut butter, and she posted a recipe that she adapted from a
cookbook. I told the hubs about it and he asked me to add crushed peanuts. I
appeased him and the result was yummy! It didn’t turn out so much like bread
you can stick in the toaster, but more along the lines of banana bread. On that note, you could definitely add some smashed overripe bananas to this and I am sure it would be just heavenly! This is definitely a repeat and I highly suggest you try it!
2 cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup crushed roasted peanuts
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup milk
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In
a bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In a mixing
bowl beat together the butter and sugars. Then mix the peanut butter, egg and
vanilla into the butter/sugar. Mix well. Slowly add the flour mix, and
combine. The mixture will be dry, but don't worry... Pour in the milk
slowly, and combine. Stir in the crushed peanuts and mix well to combine. Pour
the batter into a prepared loaf pan. I used her tips and lined the loaf pan
with wax paper and the bread came out perfectly when it was done baking. Bake
for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out
clean. I ended up baking mine for about an hour and 15 minutes.
