Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. This bread is delicious plain, with a smear of extra peanut butter, or topped with jam for a PB&J twist!
