Peanut Butter Bread Recipe

This time we have two peanut butter recipe ideas for you depending on how much prep time you have on hand. Our cake mix recipe skips a lot of measuring and makes two loaf pans full. That means you can freeze one for later or make friends with your neighbors by gifting one to them. 😉

The other is from scratch with self rising flour which means NO wait time for rising like our Peanut Butter Sweet Rolls requires. This is bread, but not like the one you would make a sandwich out of. Instead think of sweet breads, dense, like pumpkin or banana like.

Cake Mix Peanut Butter Bread

You’re going to need 2 9×5 loaf pans to make this one. I mean you could cut it in half and just make one but you’d need to measure out the amount of mix in the box, cut in half and do the rest for the other 3 ingredients.

• 1 box cake mix yellow
• 4 overripe bananas ripe, mashed
  • which is about 2 cups and could be cut in half with other alternatives such as;
    • 1 cup yogurt + 2 naners
    • or sour cream instead
• 1/2 c creamy peanut butter
• 2 eggs room temperature is best

Peanut Butter Frosting is optional for the top but super yummy for sure. I mean not entirely necessary since it is already rather sweet but a fun addition to the top. You can just use the confectioners sugar and milk for flavors to not be as deep too.

• 1/4 c peanut butter creamy
• 2 c powdered sugar
• 3 tbsp milk more or less depending on how thick you want it to be

How to Make Peanut Butter Bread

Peanut Butter Bread with Cake Mix – Mash bananas, add eggs and peanut butter. Mix. Pour in dry cake mix and incorporate together. (if you wanted a tamer banana flavor you could use 2 bananas + 1 cup yogurt instead) * Optional you can add 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips or mini chopped chocolate peanut butter cups into batter.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray inside of two 9×5″ loaf pans or line with parchment paper.
• Divide batter in between both pans equally and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean in middle with moist crumbs attached.
• Remove and sit for 10 minutes before removing from pan and allowing to cool completely on cooling rack before slicing.

Homemade Peanut Butter Bread – In a bowl blend together 1 cup softened butter + 4 tbsp powdered peanut butter + 1 cup sugar + 4 eggs.

• In another bowl mix together dry ingredients; 2 cups self rising flour + 1 tsp baking soda + 1 tsp baking powder and then incorporate it into the wet mixture until smooth.
• Spoon into sprayed loaf pan and bake in preheated oven set to 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool on cooling rack.

** If you want to add a peanut butter glaze whisk together ingredients for glaze in a bowl until smooth and drizzle over the top of each slice when served. A great brunch duo is this and our Lunch Lady Peanut Butter Bars together. 😉 Jump to recipe and see what you think!

Powdered Peanut Butter Recipe

If you have never used this to make Cake Mix Peanut Butter Cookies or spread on bread with jelly it is really handy to have in your pantry. It is basically like freeze dried and just needs a little bit of liquid to come to life and taste just like a scoop out of a jar. Lasts longer and you can make more than a jar out of a container of this dried.

Also known as peanut flour or defatted peanut butter, this is a versatile product that has gained popularity for its convenience, reduced fat content, and potential use in various recipes. You can make a powdered peanut butter smoothie with it too with ripe bananas in there too.

If you have a favorite loaf but think it might be delicious with a bit of this flavor, powdered is a great way to try that out! Since it is lacking the liquid you can add a tablespoon into your batter to add the natural peanut butter flavor but not the weight that would possibly change the bake time. For instance, it is great in our moist pumpkin bread recipe too.
