2/3cuphoney
2eggs
1cupbuttermilk
1 3/4cupflour
1 1/4teaspoonbaking powder
1/2teaspoonbaking soda

1/2cuppeanutsroughly chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325 F and grease a 9 x 5 in loaf pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl combine the peanut butter and honey. Stir to blend the two ingredients together with a wooden spoon. It will take a little mixing, but the ingredients should mix and become smooth.
3/4 cup peanut butter, 2/3 cup honey
Add the eggs and butter milk and stir to completely combine the wet ingredients.
2 eggs, 1 cup buttermilk
In another bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and stir.
1 3/4 cup flour, 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt
Pour the dry ingredients into the peanut butter mixture and stir until just combined. Don't over mix. Stir until there are no streaks of flour left in the batter.
The batter will be thick. Spoon it into the loaf pan, distributing it evenly. Scatter the peanuts on top of the bread.
1/2 cup peanuts
Bake at 325 F for 55-65 minutes, until a toothpick or a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool on a rack for 10 minutes then take the loaf out of the pan. Cool completely before slicing.
Notes
If you don't have buttermilk combine 1 cup of milk with 1 Tablespoon of vinegar and let it sit for about 2 minutes.
You can also use light corn syrup for the honey. I haven't tried replacing the honey with maple syrup but I expect it would work fine.
