Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup milk

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.

4. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
