peanut butter and chocolate chip bread

I was in a "chocolate chip" mood one day and I baked three types of bread / cookies at one go, all using chocolate chips as the base, that is, (a) yoghurt chocolate chip cookies, (b) chocolate bread and (c) peanut butter and chocolate chip bread.

If you are a peanut butter fan like me, I would recommend that you use the chunky type of peanut butter. It gives the bread "oomph".

INGREDIENTS

2 cups plain flour

4 tsp baking powder

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp instant coffee (that is, the 3-in-1 instant coffee)

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 cups milk

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 195 degrees celsius.

2. Grease and flour the insides of two 8" x 4" x 3" loaf pans.

3. Sift the plain flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon and instant coffee in a large mixing bowl.

4. Add the sugar and salt and mix well.

5. Add the milk, peanut butter and chocolate chips and mix until combined.

6. Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean.

TIP

The bread has a cake-like texture and is extremely soft when it is hot. As such, do let the bread cool thoroughly before you slice it otherwise the bread may crumble.
