Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional) For added chocolate flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure your bread bakes evenly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and sugar, stirring until well blended.
  3. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and mix until fully incorporated. The batter should have a creamy texture.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the delicious flavors.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the peanut butter mixture. Mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  7. If you’re feeling indulgent, fold in the chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey bread.
  8. Grease a loaf pan and pour in the batter, ensuring it’s evenly spread.
Baking
  1. Bake in your preheated oven for about 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center.
  2. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To store your Chocolate Peanut Butter Bread, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. It will last for up to four days at room temperature or up to a month in the freezer. Reheat individual slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or toast for fresh-baked feel.
