This recipe hardly needs an introduction. Especially if you’re a peanut butter connoisseur. Or even if you’re just a plain old peanut butter lover.
It’s a bread. Infused with copious amounts of peanut butter. That is all.
Tee-hee. I would never leave you hanging like that!
I needed a way to celebrate the homemade grape jelly I made. Something a little lot more special than plain old sliced bread. Because in all honesty the grape jelly I made for the very first time with my very own two talented hands is some of the best stuff in the entire world.
(Not to brag, but I am bursting with joy over successfully making my own jelly for the second time that is far and away better than any of that highly-processed, high-fructose laden stuff they try to pass off on you in the market and I had to tell someone!)
No more walking away from the jelly aisle empty-handed, forcing me to eat peanut butter sandwiches with butter on them instead of jelly like my Grandma taught me. Bless her heart.
This is exactly like eating a spoonful of peanut butter. Or a peanut butter sandwich. It sticks to the roof of your mouth. Have milk handy! And jelly helps too! Especially when it’s homemade. Did I tell you it’s the best stuff on the face of the planet? The two together are over the moon!
Sweet, fluffy peanut butter bread!

Sounds delicious! I think I will add a couple mashed bananas, pb and bananas is so good. Thanks for posting.
Hi Sharilyn! It is really good with banana! I have a chocolate chip banana version too!
Have you thought about using almong butter? I’m thinking I’m going to try that…yum!!
I made this today and it was delicious! I used margarine instead of butter though because I don’t keep butter in stock and I couldn’t wait to try it! I also used a silicone loaf pan, which may have been smaller than an average loaf pan as it was in for over an hour and the middle still wouldn’t quite set properly (I wasn’t sure if it was the pan or the fact that it was margarine?) I will definitely be making this again, but will probably put less batter in the pan and maybe make a few mini muffins as well!
Thanks for the recipe :)
Hi Ashley! Thanks for making the bread! My oven might cook a little hotter than yours – you may just have needed to cook it longer which is perfectly fine. I don’t think the margarine would make a difference. I’m making them into muffins this week too! Been craving them. Have a great day!
Bread turned out pretty darn good ! VERY peanut buttery ! WOOT ! I’m having a problem with the middle ‘sinking’ – been googling solutions ! Will make again ! Thanks for the recipe and Happy Baking !
Hi Tina! Happy you liked it! You may have needed to cook it just a little longer – that might be why it deflated in the middle. Happy Weekend!
I baked it for 48 mins (because I know my oven may run a little warm) – and got the ‘touch back test’. I have one other, quick bread (Pistachio) recipe, that ALWAYS falls, in the middle, too. Picked up some tips, off the internet ! Will try this bread again !
I had the same issue with mine sinking in the middle. But it was very yummy!
Thanks Stacy! I’m glad you liked it!
Have you tried it with natural peanut butter? I dont use the other kinds and wondered if it would still work.
I haven’t but I think it would work out fine! I know it can sometimes be a little thicker so you may want to add in a little extra milk – a few tablespoons up to 1/4 cup extra. Please let me know how it turns out.
