Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

1.5 cups all-purpose flour Provides structure to the bread.
3 teaspoons baking powder Acts as a leavening agent.
0.25 teaspoons salt Enhances flavor.

Wet Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter Adds flavor and moisture.
0.25 cups granulated sugar Sweetens the bread.
0.25 cups light brown sugar (packed) Contributes to the sweetness and browning.
1 large egg (at room temperature) Helps bind the ingredients.
1.25 cups milk (at room temperature) Ensures a moist crumb.

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper and spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Mixing

In a large bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
Add the egg and milk to the peanut butter mixture and whisk until smooth.
Gently fold in the dry ingredient mixture, being careful not to overmix.

Baking

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and level the top.
Bake for approximately 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and avoid overmixing. Experiment with add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts for added flavor.
