70 Grams Vegetable Oil (1/3 Cup)
104 Grams Creamy Peanut Butter (1/3 Cup plus 2 Tablespoons)
112 Grams Brown Sugar (3/4 Cup)
45 Grams Milk (3 Tablespoons)
6 Grams Vanilla Extract (1 1/2 Teaspoons)
170 Grams Sourdough Starter – Fed, Unfed, or Discard (3/4 Cup)
6 Grams Baking Powder (1 1/2 Teaspoons)
3 Grams Baking Soda (1/4 Teaspoon)
3 Grams Salt (1/2 Teaspoon)
90 Grams All-Purpose Flour (3/4 Cup)
*You may also want 56 Grams Chocolate Chips (1/3 Cup), dried fruit, raisins, or nuts.
Measuring Cups and Spoons
A 9-inch by 5-inch Loaf Pan
Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit (176° Celsius) and bake for 50 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients: vegetable oil, peanut butter, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and sourdough starter.
In a separate small bowl, combine the dry ingredients: baking powder, baking soda, salt, and all-purpose flour. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
Gently fold in optional chocolate chips, fruit, or nuts. Do not overmix.
Line a 9-inch by 5-inch bread pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with spray butter.
Pour bread batter into pan and smooth with a silicone spoon or spatula. If desired, sprinkle extra chocolate chips or nuts on top of the batter.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Internal temperature should read between 195° Fahrenheit (90° Celsius) and 200° Fahrenheit (93° Celsius). An inserted toothpick should come out clean with the exception of a few moist crumbs.
Let the bread cool in the pan on the wire cooling rack for 10 minutes. Then use a sharp knife to loosen the bread from the pan. Let the bread completely cool outside of the pan before slicing and serving.
