This Peanut Butter Bread is a tender and delicious bread! It will quickly become a family favourite!
This week is spring break here, and the weather has not been very nice. We’ve had winter storm warnings and wind warnings. And head colds. Which then leads to crazy kids with cabin fever, and a mom on the verge of running off screaming into the night. It’s crazy here y’all. For me, this is the perfect storm for baking. Baking is my stress release. So I made this.

This bread is da’ bomb! It’s so peanut-buttery and rich and moist and scrumptious, and it lasted all of one day in our house! The kids and my husband loved it with raspberry jam, and I loved it just plain! You should make some. No, really you should. Like right now. You will thank me. And your house will smell divine!

March 29, 2012 at 5:53 PMHi Jo
Found you through my friend Sandy.
I never cook, so humor me here. I saw this bread and couldn’t resist trying. In 25 yrs. I’ve never run out of peanut butter. Today was the day. I had 1/2 cup left, so I made up the other 1/2 with Nutella. It’s baking now. I’ll let you know how it turns out : )
Love from Canada

April 26, 2012 at 3:26 PMI generally only buy natural peanut butter, but if I were to bake this bread do you think I should get the regular stuff? I’m thinking the bread might need all those oils…
Kayla Iannuccilli
April 26, 2012 at 3:27 PMDo you think this recipe needs regular peanut butter — as opposed to natural? I’m thinking that the bread might need all those oils…
A Pretty Life in the Suburbs
April 26, 2012 at 3:31 PMThat’s a good question – I wondered it myself, and ended up buying the regular stuff because I was concerned about the consistency difference between the two – the separation that happens with natural peanut butter kind of worried me a bit. If you’ve got natural peanut butter, maybe it’s worth a try? If you try this, let me know how it turned out!

May 24, 2012 at 6:18 PMI finally made it this week with the natural peanut butter… I even added a little splash of vegetable oil in with the butter, but it still came out a bit too dry and crumbly. Definitely regular peanut butter next time!

May 26, 2012 at 2:36 AMThanks for letting me know! I was wondering if it would work or not…I think all icing sugar in the regular peanut butter helps with the consistency! I hope you try it again and like it! 😉

July 17, 2012 at 2:25 AMHi there… I saw this on Pinterest a couple of weeks ago and made it today. It was pretty good. I like that it wasn’t too sweet. It was perfect for me. I don’t have a sweet tooth at all, but this had just the right amount of sweetness for this “non-sweet tooth” kind of gal. My kiddies liked it too, so it’s a winner in my book. I’ll be posting about it on my blog! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!

January 4, 2013 at 7:51 PMHi there. Fairly new to baking. I tried this recipe and I absolutely LOVE the flavor but it came out a bit crumbly for me… no one else seems to be posting anything but positive things so I’m thinking I might have done something wrong.. any suggestions for the next time I try it?
Jo-Anna
January 5, 2013 at 8:06 PMNot sure what you might have done wrong (maybe nothing!)…the loaf is a little more crumbly than other loaves like banana bread. If it’s really crumbly, maybe add a teensy bit more milk (a tsp at a time to the batter)?
Hope that helps!

January 23, 2014 at 1:04 PMI’m going to try a gluten-free, dairy-free version of this, I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Cynthia
January 23, 2014 at 7:13 PMSooo…I baked a gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free version of this today which worked out just fine so I thought I’d share my substitutions: 1 c. of coconut milk for the cow’s milk, 1/4 c. margarine instead of butter, Celimix egg replacer (1 tbsp. powder to 4 tbsp. water for the one egg), 2 c. Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free flour for the regular flour, 1 1/2 tsp. xantham gum. Everyone in my family has tried it and given it their stamp of approval.
Jo-Anna
January 24, 2014 at 10:01 AMLove it! Thank you for sharing the GF version…I think I just might try this one myself!! 🙂
Andria
January 28, 2014 at 12:18 PMThis sounds so good. I can’t want to try this. Only thing is I try to avoid eating sugars unless its honey or raw agave. Do you think I can use that instead of the regular and brown sugar? Does anyone have any ideas on how to replace brown sugar? Thanks!
