Peanut Butter Bread with Cheesecake Layer

For the bread: Add milk, eggs, sugar and peanut butter into a blender jar. Blend until smooth, or select “batter” setting. Add the remaining bread ingredients (except peanuts) and blend until smooth.

For the cream cheese layer: In a large bowl whisk all ingredients to combine, until smooth. You can also use an electric mixer.

For the assembly: Preheat oven to 350 F (177 C). Spray a 9×5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Pour ½ of the peanut butter bread mixture into the pan. Smooth with a spatula if needed. Evenly pour cream cheese filling on top of the peanut butter batter. Smooth top with a spatula. Top with the remaining ½ of the peanut butter bread mixture. Carefully smooth the top. Add chopped peanuts.

Bake bread for 60-65 minutes, until top is doomed, golden and a toothpick inserted into the peanut butter bread layer comes out clean, with a few moist crumbs. (After 30 minutes of baking, you can tent the pan with aluminum foil, if you feel that the top is going to burn.)

Let the bread cool for 15-20 minutes in the pan. Then transfer to a cooling rack, until it cools completely. Slice when cooled and enjoy!
