Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 3 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cup Unsalted creamy peanut butter
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Chopped unsalted peanuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and baking powder until evenly combined. Add the granulated sugar and mix well.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the egg until beaten. Then, add the unsalted creamy peanut butter, milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Mix these wet ingredients until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to prevent the bread from becoming dense.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped unsalted peanuts evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula for an even surface.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve the bread warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
