Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cup Sugar
• 1.25 cups Plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Crushed peanuts or chopped peanuts (optional, for topping or mixing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the plant-based milk, peanut butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to denser bread.

Step 5

If you'd like an extra peanut crunch, fold in the crushed or chopped peanuts at this stage.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle additional crushed peanuts on top for decoration.

Step 7

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Slice and enjoy your vegan peanut bread as is, or serve it with a spread of vegan butter or jam!
