PEANUT LOAF

Ingredients:
Creamy peanut butter - 115 gms
Water - 340 ml
maida - 115 gms
Baking powder - 5 tsp
Salt - 1 tsp
Skimmed milk powder - 50 gms
Wholemeal flour - 225 gms
Brown sugar - 115 gms (optional)
raisins - 115 gms
Unsalted peanuts - 75 gms (chopped)

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 180 C. Generously grease a loaf tin, 9*5 1/2* 3".
• In a small saucepan warm a third of the water, add the peanut butter and stir until it has melted.
• Remove from the heat and add the remaining water.
• Sift the plain flour, baking powder, salt and milk powder into a mixing bowl.
• Stir in the wholemeal flour, sugar if used, raisins and peanuts, then add the peanut mixture and stir just until all ingredients are combined.
• Turn into the loaf tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
• Bake until a metal skewer inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean- about 50 minutes.
• Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
