- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-3/4 cup milk
- 2-1/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
This is one of my favorite breads for gift
giving. Get out your trusty big bowl. In it
cream together the peanut butter and sugar.
Add the vanilla and salt and mix well. Now
add half the milk and half the flour, and
all of the baking powder. Mix very well. Add
the remaining milk and flour, and mix again
until the batter is nice and smooth. Turn
the mixture into a well oiled 9 by 5-inch
loaf pan, or two smaller loaf pans. Bake at
350° for about an hour. Remove from the
oven, and allow to cool for about 10 minutes
before removing from the pan. If you use two
smaller loaf pans, 45 minutes will probably
be long enough to cook them through. Cool
completely before wrapping and storing.
These loaves freeze well. I have doubled the
recipe with good results, but the one time I
tripled it, it didn't taste quite as good as
I expected. I especially like this bread
toasted and spread with home made strawberry
jelly.
