Peanut Butter Quick Bread

I came across a non-vegan version of this recipe in a vintage cookbook and decided I needed it in my life. And being that it’s a yeast-free bread, it was right up my alley. (My breadmaking skills leave much to be desired. I have this unfounded fear of working with yeast. Yes, I know…I need to get over that, pronto!)

As a child, I lived on peanut butter. Literally lived on it. I was that kid that skipped pizza and burgers for a PB sandwich (sans jelly- I was never a fan of anything jiggly). And as a teen, if I didn’t like what was being served for dinner, peanut butter came to my rescue.

Now I’m raising two peanut-butter loving daughters, so when I saw this recipe, I knew we had to try it.

I used dairy-free peanut butter chips to boost the peanut butter flavor. You can find dairy-free flavored chips, like white chocolate, peanut butter or butterscotch in most kosher grocery stores, or online. If you can’t find them, just add a little extra peanut butter.

I recommend baking this bread the night before so it’s ready first thing in the morning. The flavor gets better overnight and all you have to do when you get up is make a cup of coffee!
