Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
If desired, fold in chopped peanuts for added texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

For a sweeter variation, add chocolate chips or swirl in Nutella before baking.

To make gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend in place of all-purpose flour.
