2 cups of all-purpose flour (240g)
1 tsp of salt (5g)
4 tsp of baking powder (20g)
1/3 cup of white granulated sugar (66g)
1 1/3 cups of milk, whole, 2%, skim, almond, etc. (316 ml)
2/3 cup of peanut butter (152g)
Preheat the oven to 325F/162 C. Make sure the main rack is in the middle position.
Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar in a large bowl.
Then, pour in all the milk at once and stir. It will be very thick, so you will need to use a wooden spoon or something sturdy instead of the whisk.
Now add the star of the dish, the peanut butter, and stir it in until well combined. You get a bit of a workout stirring by hand.
The resulting consistency should be a very thick sticky paste consistency.
Scoop out the batter and place it in a 5x9-inch bread loaf pan or 4x8 inch pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray or greased with shortening.
Spread it out evenly as best as you can with a spatula. Then run a butter knife down the middle. The slit in the middle helps it bake better, but isn't actually necessary.
Bake for 60 to 70 minutes until a toothpick or wooden skewer comes out clean. It should be nice and golden brown on top.
And it will have a nice semi-crunchy outer crust.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve for breakfast or just as a snack. It will have a crunchy outer crust and be a little dense but soft in the middle. You could add some jelly which would then make it peanut butter and jelly bread haha.
Enjoy!
