Baking is the name of the game right now. It never fails, every year in the midst of Fall and Winter months I attempt to get as much use out of my oven as possible since it becomes too hot to do so through the most of the Spring and Summer months. I’ve made a lot of breads lately and I’ve got to say that this Skinny Peanut Butter Bread is one of my favorites.
This bread is perfectly sweet and full of peanut butter flavor. I found it to be a great breakfast bread, but I’m wondering too if there could be other uses by way of a PB&J sandwich.
I lightened this bread up by reducing the sugar and using an unsweetened almond milk, but other than that it’s a pretty straight forward peanut butter bread. I opted to finish off a jar of crunchy peanut butter for this bread (just because that’s what I happened to have on hand), but creamy would work just as well.
I served mine with some strawberry preserves and fresh berries to make for a perfectly delicious PB&J breakfast!
