Peanut Butter Quick Bread

I know there are some folks who are allergic to peanuts.

I'm SO thankful I'm not one of those people because I truly truly love me some peanut butter!

I knew when I first saw this recipe at Mandy's Recipe Box I would HAVE to make it...and enjoy every tasty bite too...and indeed I did!  

I love giving quick breads for the holidays and think this would make a great gift...

as long as they're not allergic to peanuts.

(Well you just might have to take it back home and enjoy it yourself then huh?) 

The only change I made was to substitute some white whole wheat for part of the flour. My revisions are listed below.  Feel free to use all purpose flour for

the full amount if you want. 

Mandy entered this recipe in a Smart Balance contest,using Smart Balance peanut butter.   Good luck Mandy!
We can testify to it's yummy goodness. 

PEANUT BUTTER QUICK BREAD 

1 c. brown sugar

1/2 c. creamy peanut butter

1 egg

1/2 tsp. maple flavoring, optional

1 c. all purpose flour

3/4 c. white whole wheat flour 

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1 c. buttermilk 

Preheat oven to 350. Grease 9" loaf pan. 

In large bowl, cream together brown sugar and peanut butter.  Add egg and flavoring. In medium bowl, combine flour(s), soda and salt. Alternately add buttermilk and flour mixture; blend until smooth. 

 Bake 45 - 50 minutes until tests done in the middle. Remove from pan to cool on wire rack. Cool before slicing. 

(I like to wrap my quick breads in foil when they come out of the pan to keep them moist.)
