Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the honey, peanut butter, milk, vegetable oil, and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread tough.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the loaf and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve. Optional: drizzle with extra honey or spread with additional peanut butter.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smoother mixing and better incorporation
- Don't overmix the batter - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the bread tender
- For extra richness, use natural peanut butter with no added sugar
- Check your bread early - ovens can vary, so start checking at 35 minutes
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to maintain its structural integrity
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer preservation
- For added texture, consider toasting rolled oats lightly before adding to the dry ingredients
- Experiment with add-ins like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit for personalized variations
