Peanut Butter Bread Recipe Tips:
- PAN SIZE: I use a standard loaf pan (1 lb. Pan: 8″ x 4 1/2″ x 2 3/4″ high)
- PREPARE THE PAN: Make sure to line your loaf pan with parchment paper or spray it with a baking oil spray.
- LET IT REST: Allow the loaf to rest for at least 1 hour before eating it.
- STORAGE: Keep in an airtight container or wrap in plastic wrap so that this loaf doesn’t dry out. There’s no need to put it in the fridge, it’s fine at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- FREEZING: This loaf freezes well. Store in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- OPTIONS: Feel free to add 1/2 cup chocolate chips to the batter!
Serving Suggestion:
This bread is great served with jam. Serve individual slices with raspberry jam or strawberry jam for a delicious snack or for breakfast!

I didn’t have creamy peanut butter so I used crunchy. I can’t wait to try it!! It is in the oven cooking now!
What a great idea! My kids love peanut butter! Thanks for sharing!
This recipe looks amazing! I definitely want to try this.
I 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…
Do you think this recipe needs regular peanut butter — as opposed to natural? I’m thinking that the bread might need all those oils…
That’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!

I 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!
Thanks 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! 😉
