Healthy Peanut Butter Bread
Description
Healthy Peanut Butter Bread brings together almond flour, creamy natural peanut butter, almond milk, and pure maple syrup to yield a moist, lightly sweet loaf. The combination of almond flour and baking powder creates a tender structure, while vanilla extract enhances the flavor depth. Chocolate chips can be folded in for added texture and sweetness.
The baking process at 350°F results in a golden crust with slightly crisp edges and a soft interior. The loaf needs to cool completely—at least an hour—to set the crumb so it can be sliced cleanly without crumbling.
This bread works well as a snack or breakfast option and pairs nicely with spreads or fresh fruit.
The recipe advises against substituting almond flour with coconut flour or almond meal, as they behave differently in baking, and suggests careful selection of almond flour for best results. Maple syrup can be replaced with agave syrup or honey if desired.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup almond milk 1 tablespoon unsweetened
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup peanut butter all-natural creamy
- 2 cups almond flour super-fine
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F and lightly grease or line a 5” x 9” bread tin with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla.
- Add in peanut butter and mix until fully combined and smooth.
- Add in almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Hand fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the greased bread tin and sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 38 – 43 minutes, or until golden brown with slightly crisp edges.
- Let cool completely before serving, and enjoy!
Notes
- Let the bread cool completely, at least one hour, before slicing to maintain its structure.
- Do not substitute almond flour with coconut flour or almond meal, as this will affect texture and baking results.
- Trader Joe's Almond Flour is not recommended for this recipe due to baking quality.
- Maple syrup can be swapped with agave syrup or honey as an alternative sweetener.
