Ingredients

  • 1¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉ and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Stir together the 1¾ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the 1 cup light brown sugar and ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter.
  • Add 1 large egg and stir to combine.
  • Alternate adding in the dry ingredients and 1 cup buttermilk until everything is incorporated and you have a nice uniform batter.
  • Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool in the pan for a couple of minutes before tipping out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • You can use a cup of milk soured with a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar in place of the buttermilk. 
  • Feel free to add a splash of vanilla and/or a handful of chocolate chips if you want to.
