Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Provides sweetness and moisture; substitute with coconut sugar for a lower glycemic index.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Forms the structure of the bread; swap for whole wheat flour to add more fiber.
  • 2 Eggs Adds structure and richness; for an egg-free version, replace with flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water per egg).
  • 1 cup Milk Increases moisture in the batter; use almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter The main flavor base, providing richness; any nut butter can work in its place.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Acts as a leavening agent, helping the bread to rise.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor by balancing the sweetness.
For the Topping
  • 1/2 cup Crushed Peanuts Adds an enjoyable crunch to the streusel topping; alternatively, try chopped walnuts for a different nutty flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Butter (melted) Binds the streusel together; can be substituted with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
For the Fruity Swirl
  • 1 cup Chopped Strawberries Introduces fresh fruit flavor and moisture; feel free to swap with blueberries or raspberries if desired.
  • 1/2 cup Strawberry Jam Enhances sweetness and creates a delightful fruity swirl; any berry jam can be used interchangeably to suit your taste.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing it thoroughly.
  2. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and crushed peanuts. Mix in the melted butter until crumbly. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, milk, eggs, and creamy peanut butter until smooth.
  4. Gently add all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined, then fold in the chopped strawberries.
  5. Dollop strawberry jam over the top of the batter and swirl it in without over-mixing.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the chilled streusel mixture on top.
  7. Bake for 60-75 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Cool in the pan for about 1 hour before transferring to a wire rack.
