Say hello to snack time.
This peanut butter bread is almost like eating a gigantic peanut butter cookie, but with the texture of bread and a little less sweet. That’s right: this ain’t just a boring ol’ piece of peanut butter toast. It’s a piece of peanut-butter-peanut-butter-toast.
Not for the faint of heart. But I think you all, my peanut butter loving friends, can more than handle it.
This peanut butter bread is a quick bread (review reasons on why you should bake quick bread here), meaning there’s no yeast involved, so I don’t want to hear about anyone too scared to try it. It really is super simple to make and only involves seven little ingredients.
Have I convinced you yet?
Or do I need to tell you, yet again, how it tastes like a gigantic soft peanut butter cookie? Perfect as a vehicle for (obviously) more peanut butter, but also for a wide base of healthy and nutritious topping such as nutella, marshmallow fluff and slabs of dark chocolate.
Yes, I just said “slabs of dark chocolate”.
My ideal party would involve this bread being served with peanut butter and marshmallow fluff, with mugs of this on the side.

April 11, 2011 at 5:03 amyes, i would love to come to that party. especially if we are allowed to spread nutella and strawberry jam on that bread!
Baking 'n' Books
April 11, 2011 at 5:22 amDitto to the Jam! Or apple butter.
Could you use another Nut Butter in this – like Almond Butter?
I was thinking “oh no she didn’t – peanut peanut butter bread” – and then you confirmed it. Love quick breads.
Your photos are phenomenal. How long does it take you to select 4 or 5 to use for the post? What do you do with the rest? Keep them saved?
Elena
April 11, 2011 at 5:09 amOh this bread sounds perfect right now for my peanut butter obsession! π
megan @ blackberries for jam
April 11, 2011 at 5:12 amBread and nut butter are probably my two most favorite things. Combining them and adding more nut butter is one of the best ideas ever! I may have to try an almond butter version of this!
megan @ whatmegansmaking
April 11, 2011 at 5:18 amI’m in for the party! π Never thought of trying peanut butter quick bread before! Where do you come up with this stuff? Love it π
Christina
April 11, 2011 at 5:26 amI’m coming.
Peanut butter lover’s dream!
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin
April 11, 2011 at 5:26 amWow this sounds incredible. I can’t get over the idea of peanut butter IN the bread. Yum!!
Molly
April 11, 2011 at 5:39 amThis is another way for my almond butter jar to disappear faster.

April 11, 2011 at 5:41 amAs a girl obsessed with PB…can I just say – this has changed my life!!!
*I have a piece of toast in the toaster now, which I am just about ready to slather in PB. Love the timing π

nevernotdreaming
April 11, 2011 at 5:42 amI’ve been thinking about trying to make my own bread. I currently have brown rice flour, quinoa flour, and buckwheat flour here. Thoughts on which of these flours might be good for a recipe like this?
I eat a lot of nut butter sandwiches, with large bananas smooshed and jam as a snack and different breads make it interesting…fine for early morning, all day long, or all night long.
Liz @ Tip Top Shape
April 11, 2011 at 5:50 amOoohh, this looks fantastic!!!! As a peanut butter lover, I think I can definitely handle this π
Jessica @ How Sweet

Amy
April 11, 2011 at 5:58 amOh wow…. YUM. I believe in peanut butter on peanut butter…. can’t have too much of a good thing π …Looks amazing!
Holly @ The Runny Egg
April 11, 2011 at 6:00 amThis looks and sounds incredible! And I love the short ingredient list — it won’t take too long to whip up a loaf for myself!
Jen
April 11, 2011 at 6:06 amI just bought a standing mixer…so I’m definitely due to make a loaf of bread one day soon. Nothing sounds more heavenly than slabs of dark chocolate on a slice of that bread. I like the way you think.
Lucy @ The Sweet Touch
April 11, 2011 at 9:32 amCongrats on the stand mixer! I think a loaf of bread is the perfect recipe to christen it!
Oh yeh and a slab of dark chocolate is good in any situation!
Dee
April 11, 2011 at 6:12 amOoh, I want to come to the party too! π
VeggieGirl
April 11, 2011 at 6:15 amYes, please!! I DO want to come π
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat
April 11, 2011 at 6:15 amYou are a genius! By slabs of dark chocolate… are you thinking slabs as thick as the bread? π Because that would be pretty darn delicious!
Ruth
April 11, 2011 at 6:17 amHooray for Jenna’s party! I’m in!
Errign
April 11, 2011 at 6:25 amI LOL’d at the nutritious topping line. π Looks fabulous – I want a slice for breakfast!
Jil @ Big City, Lil Kitchen
April 11, 2011 at 6:27 amGENIUS. Period.
Danielle
April 11, 2011 at 6:33 amYou have got to be kidding me. This looks amazing. I cannot wait to make this once Lent is over. I gave up muffins and the sorts. You are a genius.
Brooke @ bittersweetb
April 11, 2011 at 6:48 amYum with Nutella on top!!
Krystina (Organically Me)
April 11, 2011 at 6:51 amI LOVE quickbreads. This looks amazing.
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat
April 11, 2011 at 6:59 amThinking about cutting out the sugar (still following my Lenten fast over here) and adding in a few ripe bananas to make muffins…
Jenny @ Fitness Health and Food
April 11, 2011 at 7:00 ammmm mmm mmm!
even better spread that pb bread with nutella or PB and Co dark chocolate dreams… sigh π
Kelly
April 11, 2011 at 7:04 amDefinitely convinced.
Christine @ Burning It Off
April 11, 2011 at 7:09 amThis looks like a great way to fuel my peanut butter addiction! π
Michelle | Gold-hearted Girl
April 11, 2011 at 7:10 amI think I’m in foodie paradise looking at this…INCREDIBLE. I need a scoop of peanut butter right now…
Natalia - a side of simple
April 11, 2011 at 7:10 amIs there really any other kind of bread? No. This is the purpose of peanut butter π and new yoga pants!
Lauren at Keep It Sweet
April 11, 2011 at 7:13 amI don’t need any convincing when it comes to peanut butter!
Molly
April 11, 2011 at 7:13 amyou definitely convinced me! i am making this the next chance i get – looks amazing!
Maria
April 11, 2011 at 7:15 amI might have to make this today! Love it!
Michelle
April 11, 2011 at 7:19 amI’m wondering if you can use Whole wheat Flour with this! I love that it’s full of simple ingredients.
Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday
April 11, 2011 at 7:20 amI don’t know why I haven’t thought to make bread with peanut butter. I bake bread all the time. Usually yeast bread. I’m going to have to make a peanut butter yeast bread!
Natalie @ Will Jog For Food
April 11, 2011 at 7:23 amI LOVE peanut butter & eat it probably every day! What a great way to eat a PB&J sandwich π
d.liff @ yelleBELLYboo
April 11, 2011 at 7:25 amYou kill me. This looks amazing. I love making quick breads – they’re so easy! And PB? Stick a fork in me, I’m done. I think I need to pick up some chunky PB on the way home tonight!
Hannah (Culture Connoisseur)
April 11, 2011 at 7:27 amYes, I am convinced. This looks yummy. I don’t know that I could pile more pb on top, maybe a bit too sweet for my taste. I wonder how cream cheese would do?
Only one way to find out…
Steph @321delish
April 11, 2011 at 7:28 amI have a peanut butter addiction. I have a bread addiction.
Check me into rehab.
Stacie @ Imperfectly Healthy

kate@ahealthypassion
April 11, 2011 at 7:32 amThat loaf seriously looks amazing and so flaky, perfect for some PB!
Jess@atasteofconfidence
April 11, 2011 at 7:38 amLooks great! Do you think it would work with whole wheat flour?
Jenny (Fit Girl Foodie)
April 11, 2011 at 7:41 amOmg mouthwatering bread!! It looks amazing! When can I come over? π
Mary (What's Cookin' with Mary)
April 11, 2011 at 7:45 amThis peanut butter bread sounds and looks seriously delish. …and no yeast required… WOO HOO! π My husband would LOVE this. Also, I’m thinking it would make for some freaking amazing french toast!
Desi@ThePalatePeacemaker
April 11, 2011 at 7:59 amI. Am. Obsessed. And yes, this would be a vehicle for even MORE peanut butter for me…. Is that a problem? π
Caroline
April 11, 2011 at 8:04 amThis looks amazing! Bread and peanut butter is one of my favorite things (besides maybe peanut butter cookies) I’m definitely going to have to try out this recipe!!
Shannon
April 11, 2011 at 8:05 amI can’t wait to try this … once Lent is over! I gave up my most favorite food: peanut butter.

R @ Learning As I Chop
April 11, 2011 at 8:18 amOoh, I love the idea of having a slice with nutella!
Alison (Fueling for Fitness)
April 11, 2011 at 8:19 amI can’t really imagine what this tastes like despite your description. I guess there’s only one way to rectify that………………. π
Bobbi McCormick

Bethany
April 11, 2011 at 8:45 amOh baby. Must try. I don’t have a mixer on me, but I’ll be at my parents house in a few weekends and I am SO going to use theirs to try this out.
Question/idea: how would you feel about incorporating chocolate chips, a la chocolate chip banana bread? Because if there’s anything I like more than peanut butter, it’s peanut butter with chocolate. Would chocolate chips work in something like this?
Cara
April 11, 2011 at 8:55 amPeanut butter ON peanut butter bread! I’m sold.
Kristin Eats
April 11, 2011 at 8:56 amYou have got to be kidding me. This looks way too good. I honestly don’t think I can make it, because I know I don’t have the self control to eat just one slice. The entire loaf would be gone before the end of the day. Looks GREAT!!!
Jesse
April 11, 2011 at 8:56 ami eat an english muffin with peanut butter and banana every morning, the only thing that would make it better is peanut butter bread. i’m all about making this!
fortycloves
April 11, 2011 at 8:58 amWow! My kids will go crazy for this bread. It is the perfect treat to pack for snacktime at school – with some fruit, it is a mini-meal (and yet, they will feel like it’s dessert!)
Justeen @ Blissful Baking
April 11, 2011 at 9:07 amThis sounds like the perfect snack bread! It would be heavenly when served warm with nutella or jam. Yummm π
Sonia (the Mexigarian)
April 11, 2011 at 9:10 amI dunno if someone could pass out from PB overload but one can try. PB on top of PB bread?? Mmmmm, yes please. With a helping of strawberry preserves of course π
Claydene Hamblin
April 11, 2011 at 9:16 amNot to be the party pooper, but what’s the calorie counte etc?
jenna
April 11, 2011 at 9:27 amI don’t calculate calorie counts for any of the recipes I develop. I’m really sorry! (I thought peanut butter was fat-free?)
Laura
April 11, 2011 at 2:09 pmJust don’t eat the whole loaf and you’ll be fine. π
Lauren
April 11, 2011 at 9:17 amMmmm looks great! I bet the peanut butter keeps the bread nice and moist!
Elizabeth@The Sweet Life
April 11, 2011 at 9:18 amwhat an amazing recipe! and easy to vegan-ize. definitely trying this soon.
Karla
April 11, 2011 at 9:21 amOh goodness! You have no idea how good this looks. I’m living in Italy now where PB is sort of a rare find (not to mention expensive once you get your hands on it).
I’m drooling. Thank you.

Meghan @ StruggleMuffins
April 11, 2011 at 10:44 amI want to come! I wonder how yummy it would be to cut up chunks of this bread, heat it in the oven, and when it comes out – cover with some milk and drizzle some pb and/or chocolate on top. Heavennnnn!

kat smith
April 11, 2011 at 9:45 pmThis is incredible. I am already thinking of variations. I would use PB and Company’s white chocolate peanut butter and add dried cranberries. This bread would make delicious french toast, topped with bananas and served with bacon. You are always an inspiration. Keep it coming. Love you and say hi to Dexter for me.

April 11, 2011 at 10:30 pmI will DEFINITELY be making this bread! Peanut butter is the perfect motivation.
Tricia
April 12, 2011 at 6:13 amI made this last night, and while it was baking, I did my Plyometrics, because I started P90X and am in my second week of the program – determined to actually finish it this time. Last time I did it I made it 70 days or so, then was jogging by a Red Cross Blood Drive, and went back about an hour later, and, being the newbie that I was at it, wound up having to rest the next couple days; thus throwing off my P90X groove. But not this time!!
This year I have a new motivation, and lovely new recipes to try!
That being said, this was so tasty, fresh out of the oven with some raspberry jam on top. MMMmm! I brought a slice to work with me to snack on this morning.
Thank you !!!!!!

April 12, 2011 at 4:29 pmWhy haven’t I made this yet??? Hmmm… Maybe because I already have half of an addicting tray of your chocolate dump cake sitting on my kitchen counter? But then again, is justification of any kind necessary when it comes to peanut butter? Yeah… Pretty sure I’m making this tonight. That. Is. All.

April 14, 2011 at 6:06 pmIt is baking as I type! I substitute one cup of flour for whole wheat because it was my last cup of flour at home. It turned so thick the mixer started making funny noises so I added more milk to balance things out. I have very very high expectation for this bread. I will update in an hour to let you know.

August 24, 2011 at 6:10 pmI was so excited to try this and followed the recipe exactly except I used creamy PB instead of chunky. My “bread”came out all dense and heavy and was edible (I guess) while still warm but after it cooled it was gummy and bleh. It started out growing good but then I think it collapsed like a doughy cake. I was so disappointed when I took it out cause it smelled amazing. Could this disaster be blamed on the smoothness of my PB? What else could I have done wrong? Help me out here cause I really want to try it again! Thanks π

Peanut Butter Bread with Nutella | Willceau Illo News
November 25, 2019 at 6:47 pm[…] Peanut Butter Sandwich Bread – because there are times when you have to eat Nutella with something else besides a spoon. It’s not a sweet bread like banana or cranberry bread – it’s more of a peanut butter flavored bread to make sandwiches with. The perfect bread for peanut butter and jelly, or peanut butter on one side and Nutella on the other with sliced bananas. Come to think of it, peanut butter and bacon would be pretty swoony too! […]
