Seems like I can’t go one week without baking something for breakfast – but that’s a good thing, right? This bread sounds rich, but it’s not. It has just the right amount of peanut butter/chocolate flavor to leave you satisfied.
You’ll need:
3/4 c packed brown sugar
1/3 c creamy peanut butter
1.5 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 egg whites
2 tbsp canola oil
1 c all purpose flour
1/2 c whole wheat flour
1 c fat free milk
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp fat free milk
1. Preheat oven to 350 and prep your loaf pan.
2. In large bowl, combine brown sugar, peanut butter, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Beat with electric mixer until combined. Beat in egg whites and oil until combined. In a small bowl, combine flours and alternately add this and 1 c milk to peanut butter mixture beating on low speed after each addition. Transfer 1/2 c of the batter to small bowl and stir in cocoa powder and 1 tbsp milk.
3. Spoon half the light-color batter evenly into prepped loaf pan. Then drop all the chocolate batter by small spoonfuls on top of batter in pan. Spoon remaining light-color batter over it. Using a narrow metal spatula, swirl batters to create a marbled effect.
4. Bake for 50-55 mins or until inserted toothpick in middle comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for about 10 mins and remove from pan and continue to cool on wire rack. Makes approx. 12 servings.
I probably could've done better with the "marbling" effect but still tastes delish!

Now that, I love. I’ve never seen a peanut butter bread before, I need to try it.

It is really very good – very moist and not ‘heavy’. I am going to take a stab and say that it seems like you enjoy decadence in your desserts/food. If so, may I suggest putting a bit more peanut butter in the recipe and perhaps throw some chocolate chips in there (?). Enjoy!

That looks evil, in a tasty way!

@Tina – but totally guilt free!

I like how the things you bake are a) usually along the breakfast lines and b) lower in Calories. My last experiment in baking didn’t turn out all that well, this makes me want to get back and try something once again.

@Van – If I could make a more elaborate breakfast in the mornings I would but having something quick to take with you (and is homemade) is ideal. It’s funny b/c I much rather prefer eating at home now.

I’m all about taking something on the run, which is why these breakfast recipes really appeal.
