Peanut Butter Bread
This is based on a recipe that has been doing the rounds on social media recently, that I thought I’d give a try. Originally a recipe from 1932, I have played around with the ingredients to bring it to the modern bake era and added some ‘sweetness’ to it, to make it more palatable.
Peanut Butter Bread
Ingredients
- 250 g Self-Raising Flour
- 250 g Peanut Butter
- 250 g Apple Sauce
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 large Egg
- 150 g Granulated Sugar
- 125 ml Milk
- ¼ tsp Bicarbonate of Soda (Baking Soda)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C.
- Line a loaf tin with baking paper.
- In a large bowl whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Add the peanut butter to the flour mixture, combine with fingertips until it forms a fairly fine crumble.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and sugar, until light and fluffy. Then incorporate applesauce and milk to the egg mixture.
- Add bicarbonate of soda to the wet ingredients, stir briefly, then add to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into your pre-prepared loaf tin and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
- Once done, remove from oven and turn out onto a rack to cool. Be sure to not cover your loaf until completely cool, or it will become soggy.
