Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter, such as PB2® optional
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups peanut butter
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 3/4 cups brown sugar
  • 3/4 cups chopped peanuts, optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Combine flour, peanut butter powder, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Mix peanut butter, milk, and brown sugar together in a bowl with an electric mixer until fully combined. Add flour mixture and mix on low speed just until flour disappears; stir in peanuts. Scoop batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out with a spatula.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, remove from the pan, then cool completely on the wire rack.
