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.

yes, i would love to come to that party. especially if we are allowed to spread nutella and strawberry jam on that bread!
Ditto 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?
Oh this bread sounds perfect right now for my peanut butter obsession!
Bread 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!
I’m in for the party!
Never thought of trying peanut butter quick bread before! Where do you come up with this stuff? Love it 
I’m coming.
Peanut butter lover’s dream!
Wow this sounds incredible. I can’t get over the idea of peanut butter IN the bread. Yum!!
This is another way for my almond butter jar to disappear faster.
As 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

I’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.
Ooohh, this looks fantastic!!!! As a peanut butter lover, I think I can definitely handle this
I’m coming for the party!
Oh wow…. YUM. I believe in peanut butter on peanut butter…. can’t have too much of a good thing
…Looks amazing!
This looks and sounds incredible! And I love the short ingredient list — it won’t take too long to whip up a loaf for myself!
I 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.
Congrats 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!
Ooh, I want to come to the party too!
Yes, please!! I DO want to come
You are a genius! By slabs of dark chocolate… are you thinking slabs as thick as the bread?
Because that would be pretty darn delicious!
Hooray for Jenna’s party! I’m in!
I LOL’d at the nutritious topping line.
Looks fabulous – I want a slice for breakfast!
GENIUS. Period.
You 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.
Yum with Nutella on top!!
I LOVE quickbreads. This looks amazing.
Thinking about cutting out the sugar (still following my Lenten fast over here) and adding in a few ripe bananas to make muffins…
mmm mmm mmm!
even better spread that pb bread with nutella or PB and Co dark chocolate dreams… sigh
Definitely convinced.
This looks like a great way to fuel my peanut butter addiction!
I think I’m in foodie paradise looking at this…INCREDIBLE. I need a scoop of peanut butter right now…
Is there really any other kind of bread? No. This is the purpose of peanut butter
and new yoga pants!
I don’t need any convincing when it comes to peanut butter!
you definitely convinced me! i am making this the next chance i get – looks amazing!
I might have to make this today! Love it!
I’m wondering if you can use Whole wheat Flour with this! I love that it’s full of simple ingredients.
I 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!
I LOVE peanut butter & eat it probably every day! What a great way to eat a PB&J sandwich
You 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!
Yes, 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…
I have a peanut butter addiction. I have a bread addiction.
Check me into rehab.
I have an addiction to peanut butter and this sounds AWESOME!
That loaf seriously looks amazing and so flaky, perfect for some PB!
Looks great! Do you think it would work with whole wheat flour?
Omg mouthwatering bread!! It looks amazing! When can I come over?
This peanut butter bread sounds and looks seriously delish. …and no yeast required… WOO HOO!
My husband would LOVE this. Also, I’m thinking it would make for some freaking amazing french toast!
I. Am. Obsessed. And yes, this would be a vehicle for even MORE peanut butter for me…. Is that a problem?
This 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!!
I can’t wait to try this … once Lent is over! I gave up my most favorite food: peanut butter.
LOVE peanut butter. This recipe looks divine! Can’t wait to try it!
Ooh, I love the idea of having a slice with nutella!
I can’t really imagine what this tastes like despite your description. I guess there’s only one way to rectify that……………….
In love.
Oh 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?
Peanut butter ON peanut butter bread! I’m sold.
You 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!!!
i 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!
Wow! 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!)
This sounds like the perfect snack bread! It would be heavenly when served warm with nutella or jam. Yummm
I 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
Not to be the party pooper, but what’s the calorie counte etc?
I don’t calculate calorie counts for any of the recipes I develop. I’m really sorry! (I thought peanut butter was fat-free?)
Just don’t eat the whole loaf and you’ll be fine.
Mmmm looks great! I bet the peanut butter keeps the bread nice and moist!
what an amazing recipe! and easy to vegan-ize. definitely trying this soon.
Oh 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.
Have I told you that I love you…and that you’re a frickin genius! I am so making this and u knw that lindt sea salt will surely come out for this bad boy!
I am so praying to get a kitchen aid mixer for my wedding!!!! Love this!!!
The only reason anyone should be afraid to make this is if they’re allergic to peanut butter. Genius Jenna!
No yeast!? I will be making this tonight!!! Great recipe!
AH
I made PB bread a few weeks ago and I am a convert! It was so good. I think I may need to make another batch today!
I 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!
its official. I love you. xxxxxxx
How has no one thought of this before. Jenna, I really feel like you deserve a crown or something. Made out of chocolate, of course.
This looks wonderful! Great recipe. I’m pumped to try this.
Could you use brown sugar instead of white? This looks fab, I can’t wait to try it!
yes. that would be great!
Peanut Butter in bread.
and….
“healthy and nutritious topping such as nutella, marshmallow fluff and slabs of dark chocolate.”
I love the way your mind works! I think I need to be making this very, very soon
I WILL be making this…and soon!
Looking tasty, Jenna! I’m always looking for new recipes for bread. I’m so finicky about the store brand kind except if I can find a good rye bread.
i can’t wait to try this! yum!
YUM – we are having a girls night Friday…I think I’ll be bringing this – I have visions of chocolate chips inside……and slathering some Dark Chocolate Dreams on it!!!
Count me in!!
Peanut butter + peanut butter + peanut butter???? HEAVEN!
yes please I want to come! I love this bread, and I think I would try and adapt is so that it is banana peanut butter bread!
Yes! I can’t eat yeast, so this is RIGHT up my alley! Thanks for the great recipe.
amazing…that is all
Heidi xo
Genius!!! Definitely will be trying this bread. There could never be too much peanut butter. Yum!
I will have to add this to my “Jenna’s MUST MAKES” list!
Yum! This sounds really delicious – definitely need to give this a try!
Into the recipe bank it goes…along with all your other amazing treats and recipes.
Maybe flag the recipe bank and right into the kitchen I go
I want to attend your party…haha
I saw this recipe this morning and can’t wait any longer…I’m baking it right now!
I LOVE peanut butter, I used to eat it plain. I’m making this this weekend!
Holy AMAZINGNESS! This looks fantastic! I’ll be making this one and putting it on top of oatmeal! Geeeeze!
Thank you for sharing such an awesome idea!
The title alone got me hooked…i love everything peanut butter.
This 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.
Just when I thought I’d seen every last quick bread recipe, you come up with a new great one! Thanks
I will DEFINITELY be making this bread! Peanut butter is the perfect motivation.
I 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 !!!!!!
hi jenna! i don’t have a mixer, would using elbow grease work just as well?? (please say yes…)
hi jenna! i don’t have a mixer, would using elbow grease work just as well?? (please say yes…)
Why 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.
made this tonight. FANTASTIC!
could i use whole wheat with this recipe?
Love, love, love this bread and so do my kids! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This looks so good I had to just run downstairs and have some peanut butter fingers mmm…. Chuffin brilliant!
It 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. Love you Genna. You make me smile and giggle every morning when I check my google reader.
I just had a slice and it was divine! Thank you!
I made this bread and wrote about it
here. It does taste just like a pb cookie in bread form. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
I 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
This is seriously amazing. Seriously. Thanks, Jenna!
Oh my gosh, I just made this and am IN LOVE! I can’t stop eating it (which I may regret later…) I may add chocolate chips next time!
Just made a GLUTEN FREE version of this bread replacing the milk with Flax Milk and the flour with Gluten-Free baking flour! It tastes amazing!
I’m making this right now! Adding a mashed banana in place of some of the milk. Can’t wait to eat it. Thanks Jenna!
