08.05.2009 Giveaway Results, and some PB Quick Bread for the road.

The randomly chosen winners of the Domino book giveaway are Megan and Andrea.
Congrats, ladies!

And now for a pound cake-like quick bread that gets even better enjoyed the day after it’s baked…:
Choose the add-in depending on the mood. Dried or even fresh fruit (banana bits, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries…) other than the ones listed below would be perfect too.
It would probably work well using soy yogurt instead of the (baked good version of) Soymilk Mayo, if you prefer.

Bake up a storm, hug your maman if you can, and have fun this weekend!

Non-stick cooking spray
1/2 cup (116 g) Soymilk Mayo (omit dry mustard, add 2 teaspoons agave nectar, 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, let cool completely and chill for a few hours or overnight before using)
1/2 cup (128 g) creamy or crunchy natural peanut butter
1 cup (235 ml) plain soy or other nondairy milk
2/3 cup (128 g) raw sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (180 g) whole wheat pastry flour
2 tablespoons (16 g) cornstarch
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup (34 g) candied ginger, finely chopped or 1/2 cup (80 g) raisins or 1/2 cup (88 g) nondairy semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4). Lightly coat an 8 x 4-inch (20 x 10-cm) loaf pan with spray.
In a medium bowl, combine mayo, peanut butter, milk, sugar, and extract until emulsified.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Fold wet ingredients into dry, being careful not to over mix. Fold in candied ginger.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Loosely cover with foil if it browns up too quickly while baking.
Place on a wire rack, still in the pan, for about 15 minutes before transferring directly to the rack, and letting cool completely before slicing or storing.

Yield: One 8-inch (20-cm) loaf

    Just made this, adding a cup of milled almonds for more flavor (since I didn’t use chips or raisins) and a small sprinkle of nutmeg + allspice, and it is FABULOUS. Perfect spicy, peanut buttery flavor and chewy texture–which is surprising enough considering there is no butter or oil in the recipe! I’m writing it down in my recipe notebook. Thank you :)

    My family and I LOVE this bread… have made it a few times. It’s tastes amazing! Mine just come out a little crumbly. Can you think of what I could be doing wrong?! Thanks for your great site!!

    • Celine says:

      is the peanut butter you use rather thick? what about the batter before pouring it in the loaf pan? I think that adding about 1/4 cup soy yogurt or more, depending on the texture of the batter, would help with that. maybe cutting down on baking time if you don’t want to add yogurt might help too.
