Food Storage recipe - Oatmeal Peanut Butter Quick Bread

 

This was a fun quick bread to make. I used powdered milk and peanut butter powder. I didn't have milk on hand and didn't want to open a new jar of peanut butter. It worked very well. Taste so good. Just replace the milk and peanut butter with the powdered ones if you want. A lot of recipes are really easy to alter. 

NEED

1 cup of milk (I used powdered milk) 

1 cup of sugar

1 cup of peanut butter (I used powdered peanut butter that I made up a cup of.) 

2 eggs that you have let sit to get to room temperature.

1 1/2 cups of flour

1/2 cup of old fashion oats

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Grease a loaf pan.

Using a blender on high , blend the milk, sugar, peanut butter, and eggs , until a smooth batter.

Add the flour, oats, baking powder, and salt and blend for about a minute.

Pour into your prepared loaf pan. 

Bake for about 1 hour . Or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let it cool for about 10 minutes on a cooling rack before slicing.

So many toppings are good on this bread.
