Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bread.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined, ensuring even distribution of leavening agent.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, creamy peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniformly blended, breaking up any lumps of peanut butter.
Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender and prevent it from becoming dense.
Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula for even baking.
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center near the end of baking time; the bread is done when it comes out clean.
Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes to set, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

For added texture and flavor, stir in 1/2 cup chopped peanuts or chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
This bread is especially delicious when toasted and served with jam or extra peanut butter.
