Depression Era Peanut Butter Bread

 This is the third peanut butter recipe in a row on my blog. Obviously, I love peanut butter, so this recipe from Sprinkle Bakes caught my attention. I saw it yesterday and was able to bake it today. It's definitely best served with a glass of milk, full of peanut butter flavor and delicious. 

Depression Era Peanut Butter Bread

2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1 1/3 cups milk

Preheat oven to 325°F. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together. Whisk to combine. In a separate bowl, stir together the peanut butter and honey. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients along with the milk. Mix using an electric mixer on low speed until just combined. Scrape down the bowl, and fold the batter until no streaks of flour remain.

Grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan. Scrape batter into the prepared pan, and smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour, until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. 

Let the bread cool 5 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool further. Slice using a serrated knife. Serve warm or cool. Makes 1 loaf.
