Peanut Butter Bread

Peanut Butter Bread (shared by Michelle)

Ingredients:
2/3 cup peanut butter (I used a natural crunchy peanut butter)
1 1/2 cup white flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup skim milk
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Mix together the milk and peanut butter with a mixer.  Add the dry ingredients.  Pour into a greased 8x4 inch loaf pan (I used a small square baking pan and cooked about 30 minutes).  Bake at 350 degrees F for about 45 minutes (30 minutes if using a different pan).  Allow to cool in pan for about 20 minutes.  Remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.

ENJOY!

Keep layering in the same sequence until all of the ingredients have been used, making sure that the final top layer cheese. Bake for 45 minutes until bubbly.

PLEASE NOTE:  Courtney made a few modifications to the recipe above--> "I like it really cheesy so I use a bag and a half of the Quattro farmarggio cheese mix. Instead of bolognese sauce I use the three cheese marinara and I also add sautéed spinach and mushrooms to the chicken sausage before layering"
