  5. Fold in the Almonds

    Stir the chopped almonds evenly throughout the batter.

  6. Fill the Pan

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Drizzle the peanut butter over the batter and gently swirl it with a knife if desired.

  7. Bake

    Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

  8. Cool

    Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a cutting board. Slice into 8 thick slices and enjoy.
