Light and Fluffy Peanut Butter Bread<\/h2>\n

My friend Theresa posted on Facebook that she had made “peanut butter bread.” Intrigued, I asked her for the recipe. Her recipe included buttermilk and a few other ingredients I didn’t have on hand, so I whipped out my trust Fanny Farmer cookbook and found an alternative recipe.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have a copy of the Fanny Farmer<\/a> classic cookbook, get it. It’s my go-to cookbook for everything. I don’t think I’ve found a bad recipe in the whole book. Simple recipes can be easily adapted for any taste and the book included how-to-cook basics for everything from meat and fish to vegetables.<\/p>\n

Quick Peanut Butter Bread<\/h2>\n

This recipe is actually what’s called a quick bread. Usually, quick bread recipes leave out leavening agents like yeast and eggs. In this case, the recipe included one egg, but no yeast.<\/p>\n

I kept the egg although I try to reduce the cholesterol in our diets. Honestly, today, I needed the full taste and mouth-feel of regular old-fashioned loaf bread. There’s a time to eat healthily<\/a> and a time when it’s okay to indulge. Today was an indulgence day.<\/p>\n

Chunky or Smooth Peanut Butter?<\/h3>\n

I don’t know which team you’re on – Team Chunky Peanut Butter or Team Smooth Peanut Butter – but whatever you have in the pantry is just fine for this recipe. If you use chunky peanut butter, you’ll get a bit of extra crunch from the peanuts and it might enhance the peanut butter flavor.<\/p>\n
