Instructions
Prepare a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan by spraying it with cooking spray, lining it with parchment and then spraying it again.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the buttermilk, peanut butter, egg, and melted butter. Stir everything together with a stiff spatula or wooden spoon until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and let sit for 15 minutes. While batter is resting, preheat oven to 350° F.
Sprinkle the turbinado sugar evenly on top of the batter, and then bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool completely before slicing with a serrated knife.
Notes
For this recipe, instead of spooning the flour into the measuring cup and leveling it off, this time we're scooping the measuring cup directly into the flour to gather it, and then leveling it off with a knife.
