How to Make it

This recipe for chocolate chip peanut butter bread is easy to make and is a great opportunity to invite the kids into the kitchen and get them baking with you.

Here's an overview of the ingredients and steps to making this loaf. Please see the recipe card at the end of this post for ingredient amounts.

Ingredients Overview

  • Whole wheat pastry flour. Including whole wheat pastry flour increases the nutrition factor but you can substitute all-purpose flour.
  • All-purpose flour
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Brown sugar
  • Peanut butter. You'll need a full cup of smooth peanut butter which means you'll actually taste the peanut butter in this bread.
  • Milk. I used 2% but you can also use 1%.
  • Eggs. Remember to remove them from the refrigerator ahead of time so they are at room temperature when you make the bread.
  • Semi-sweet chocolate chips. You can use regular sized or mini chocolate chips. If you don't want to include chocolate, you can omit it and leave the bread plain.

Steps Overview

  1. Start by preheating your oven and preparing your loaf pan by greasing and dusting it with flour.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of your mixer, add the sugar and peanut butter and beat until combined. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and beat until incorporated.
  4. With the mixer on low speed, add half the flour mixture, then half the milk, combine until blended and then repeat by adding the rest of the flour and milk. Mix until the flour is incorporated and the batter is smooth.
  5. If using, stir in the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the greased loaf pan.
  6. Bake until the loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the loaf comes out clean.
  7. Cool loaf in the pan for 15 minutes and then turn the loaf out unto a wire rack to finish cooling.

Serving Suggestions

This Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Loaf is an easy way to have a quick breakfast and makes a great afternoon snack with a tall glass of milk. It's also great for serving at brunches.

I think you'll find many fun ways to eat this bread. Top slices with butter, jam or Nutella. Or again, toast slices of this bread and spread butter and honey on them or even peanut butter with slices of banana.

Storage Instructions

Peanut butter quick bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

You can also freeze the entire loaf or part of it for up to three months. Just make sure to wrap well in plastic wrap and then store it in a freezer bag.

To thaw the bread, remove it from the freezer and let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

Enjoy!

    I love the addition of the brown sugar to this. I think this would be so good with a bowl of chili!

      Hi Julie, it never occurred to me to have this with chili, but that might work cause the bread is not very sweet.
