The Best Peanut Butter Quick Bread: A Simple and Tasty Treat

Print Recipe

Peanut Butter Quick Bread is a soft, nutty, and comforting loaf that comes together quickly without yeast. Perfect for breakfast, snacking, or even dessert, this easy-to-make bread requires minimal prep time and pantry-friendly ingredients. With a rich peanut butter flavor and moist crumb, it’s a delicious twist on traditional quick breads like banana or zucchini bread. Customize it with chocolate chips, jelly swirls, or nuts for extra flair.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 cup milk

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and sugar. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth.

  • Add eggs and milk, mixing until the batter becomes creamy and well-blended.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

  • Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to combine. Do not overmix.

  • Add vanilla extract and give a final gentle stir.

  • Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

  • Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • You can mix in chocolate chips, nuts, or swirl in jam before baking for added flavor.

  • For a fluffier loaf, make sure your baking powder is fresh.

  • The loaf will rise and crack slightly on top—that’s normal for quick breads.

  • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
