Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • ¼ cup Brown Sugar Adds sweetness and moisture; substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier option.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; for a gluten-free option, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
  • 1 cup Milk Any milk substitute works perfectly.
  • 2 count Eggs For vegan, replace with unsweetened applesauce (¼ cup per egg).
  • ¾ cup Creamy Peanut Butter The main flavor component; any nut butter can be used as a substitute.
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda Leavening agent that helps the bread rise.
  • ½ teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor.
  • 1 cup Chopped Strawberries Adds freshness; substitute with other berries or fruits.
  • ½ cup Strawberry Jam Adds sweetness and moisture.
For the Streusel Topping

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your loaf pan lightly or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and crushed peanuts. Pour in melted butter and mix until resembling coarse crumbs. Chill the streusel topping.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, milk, eggs, and peanut butter until smooth.
  4. Gradually add in all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in chopped strawberries and swirl in strawberry jam for a marbled effect.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle streusel topping, and bake for 60-75 minutes.
  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about an hour to set.
  8. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
