How to Make 1927 Peanut Butter Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¾ cup granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter (or your preferred nut butter) and mix until thoroughly incorporated.
  4. Gradually add 1 cup buttermilk, beating with an electric mixer on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around the 50-minute mark.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
