How do you make peanut butter bread? (step-by-step)

Preparation
How do I make a streusel topping for my peanut butter bread?
Streusel is a doubling recipe (like our easy shortbread cookie recipe). You’ll whisk together 1 part butter, 2 parts flour, and 4 parts sugar (e.g. 1/4 cup butter, 1/2 cup flour, 1 cup sugar). A pinch of salt too, if you’d like.
Add the topping immediately before baking.
How do you eat peanut butter quick bread?
I like it warm, fresh from the oven as is, but my kids like it iced with a dollop of whipped butter or smothered in homemade apple butter.
It’s also awesome with a smear of cream cheese or peanut butter!
Storage and leftovers
How long does homemade peanut butter bread last?
You can keep the bread at room temperature in a cool dry environment for 2 – 3 days, in the refrigerator (in a sealed container) for up to a week, or frozen (wrapped and sealed) indefinitely.
Can you freeze this peanut butter bread recipe?
Yes, to freeze it you’ll want to wait for the loaf to cool completely. Then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then again in foil, or place in a sealed container (freezer bag or tupperware).
