In a recent episode of Paula Deen's show in Food TV, I saw her preparing a very easy peanut butter bread. Since I'm not a big fan of peanut butter I thought of making the bread with almond butter instead. The taste was amazing and you won't believe how easy it is to prepare.
This almond butter quick bread looks amazing right! But do you want to bake an easy white bread recipe using yeast. Then this white bread recipe should be bookmarked.

Eggless Almond Butter Bread Recipe |
| Prep Time | Cook Time | Makes |
|---|---|---|
| 20 Mins | 50 Mins | 12 Servings |

| Madhuram | Breads | Baking |
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 4 Teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/3 Cup Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Toasted Slivered Almonds. Optional
- 1.5 Cups Milk (I Used 2% Milk)
- 1/2 Cup Almond Butter (I Used Nature's Promise Organic Almond Butter)
Procedure:
- Preheat oven to 375F/190C for 15 minutes.
- Combine the dry ingredients and nuts. Add milk to the mix and stir well to avoid lumps.
- Now add the almond butter.
- Mix well and continuously stir them.
- Pour into a 8x4x3 inch loaf pan.
- Top the batter with some toasted almond slices.
- Bake for approximately 50 minutes.
- Have this for breadfast with or without jam. Enjoy!
My Notes:
- I happened to check the reviews in the food network site after baking the bread while writing this post. The recipe was given only 3 stars and most of them had written that the bread was too dry and did not have enough peanut butter taste. So they had suggested reducing the amount of baking powder, increasing the quantity of peanut butter, reducing the baking time, or using organic peanut butter because it has more oil content. But I did not have any problem with my bread. The only change I made was using almond butter and added a couple of toasted almonds. The bread was very moist and sweet enough by itself. Jam was also not necessary. The almond butter did have a lot of oil in it, maybe that gave the moistness to the bread.
- Adding toasted nuts in the batter gave a very nice crunch. But I wouldn't top the bread with nuts the next time because they get toasted once again and some of the nuts became little bitter. Not topping the bread with almonds will also facilitate easy slicing of the bread.
- Cool completely before slicing the bread, so that it does not crumble. I would even recommend to 2 to 3 hours of cooling.
- Also check out the health benefits of almonds here.
- Update: My friend Roma from Bangalore, India has tried another cool version of the Almond Bread. Since almond butter is not available in India she has used regular unsalted butter and has included powdered almonds and has got a very moist bread.
Rupa, thank you very much for your continuous support and encouragement. It’s my husband’s idea to include step by step pictures.
Kamala thank you. I checked with the recipe and it says 1 tablespoon only. But I really don’t remember whether it had the baking powder smell. The only thing I recollect is the tops were a bit dry. Sorry about it.
Madhavi it’s my pleasure. I baked it on Monday night and it’s moist even now. But you have to store it properly.
SS, thank you. Yes it’s sweet only. I bought the unsalted variety. I liked it better than the PB. This is my first time with almond better too. Glad it came out very well. But it’s very costly also when compared to PB, this jar cost me $12.
Ranji thank you very much.
Shri welcome to my blog. Do give it a try, it’s very moist. But I would advice not topping it with the almonds and cutting it after giving enough time to cool.
Siri, Kumudha, thank you very much. Congrats on the award.
Shubha thank you so much for the words of appreciation. I got the almond butter in the regular american grocery store (Giant, in my case) in the natural foods aisle. Get the unsalted one. It is full of oil, so give it a nice stir with a thick spoon after opening the jar and be careful while opening because the oil will spill.
Mansi thank you and congrats to you too.
Sangeeth thank you very much.
Sunita, I started this blog seeing your blog. So I really am very happy to see your comments here.
Hetal thanks.
Anjali, pear butter sounds INTERESTING! Will check out your blog for that.
Cham, Sukanya, Uma, Srivalli thank you very much guys. It tasted very very good too.
Arundathi, that’s fine. I did not want to mislead, that’s why I mentioned about the reviews too. But many of them had written that you can either increase the quanitity of peanut butter or reducing the amount of baking soda. But my suggestion would be instead of milk you can add full cream and increase the quantitiy of PB also.
Truphti, Richa thank you very much.
