Note for Peanut Butter Bread:

While you can substitute other nut butters for this recipe, I don’t recommend using reduced fat peanut butter. You want a full fat nut butter to add moisture and give the best flavor. I prefer using natural peanut butter because it’s just ground peanuts, no extra oil or sugar.

VARIATIONS ON PEANUT BUTTER BREAD

• French Toast: Use this breakfast bread to make the most amazing sweet and savory french toast by substituting it in my French Toast recipe.
• Nut Butters: Make this bread with different nut butters like almond butter, cashew butter, or even crunchy peanut butter.
• Streusel Topping: Give your Peanut Butter Bread a streusel topping. Combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, and 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter until resembles a crumble. Top your batter with streusel before baking.
• Mix-ins: Gently fold in a 1/4 cup of your favorite baking chips like chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or white chocolate chips. For some crunch, add a handful of roughly chopped peanuts to your batter.
• Muffins: To make Peanut Butter Muffins, divide batter into a 12 cup muffin tin. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Bananas: Turn this into a Peanut Butter And Banana Bread by mixing 2 ripe bananas into the batter. Or serve Peanut Butter Bread with sliced bananas on top.
