Depression Era Peanut Butter Bread

This Depression Era peanut butter bread is not too sweet, and was developed during the depression when eggs, oil, and butter were hard to come by. I have modernized it a bit by adding chopped peanuts and PB2 powdered peanut butter, but they are optional. The bread is equally delicious without them.

Ingredient

  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups peanut butter
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
Direction
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Combine flour, peanut butter powder, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Mix peanut butter, milk, and brown sugar together in a bowl with an electric mixer until fully combined. Add flour mixture and mix on low speed just until flour disappears; stir in peanuts. Scoop batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out with a spatula.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, remove from the pan, then cool completely on the wire rack.
