Try slices of this delicious Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Loaf plain, toasted with butter and honey, jelly or for a more decadent treat, Nutella.
I’ve been looking for some delicious new ways to incorporate peanut butter into my baked goods. After doing some research on the internet, I found this recipe for bread that uses a whole cup of peanut butter. Finally, I thought, there should be some real peanut butter flavour in this. The recipe I found was on the blog She Wears Many Hats. What I found interesting about her recipe is that she mixes her ingredients in the blender. Though the idea intrigued me, I’m afraid my blender quit on me and I haven’t gotten around to replacing it. So I decided that I would make this bread using my mixer.
The recipe was so simple and I didn’t want to change that, so all I did in my version was to use some whole wheat flour, replaced the granulated sugar with brown sugar and added some chocolate chips to make the kiddies happy. This Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Loaf was delicious and so quick and easy to make.
There are so many ways to eat this bread: plain, toasted with butter and honey, jelly or even Nutella (my favourite way so far). It makes a great snack for kids with a glass of milk. In case you want to make this recipe in the blender, here is the link to the original recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter smooth
- 1 cup milk I used 2%
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F.
- Grease and flour one 9x5x3- inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the sugar and peanut butter until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until incorporated.
- Mixing on low speed, add half the flour mixture, then half the milk, mix until blended and then repeat by adding the rest of the flour and milk.
- Mix until all the flour is incorporated, scrape the bowl and then continue mixing until batter is smooth.
- Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan.
- Bake until the loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the loaves comes out clean, about 50 to 55 minutes.
- Cool in the pan on a rack for 15 minutes and then turn the loaf out unto a wire rack to cool.

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.
I love having sweet breads and muffins with savory soups! Or… maybe I just can it them any where any time too!
