This Molten Chocolate Peanut Butter Bread is over the top amazing. Made from a loaf of peanut butter bread with a mouthwatering molten chocolate center.
There isn’t a better combination on the planet than chocolate and peanut butter, a match made of perfection. And while I never thought it was possible to beat a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, this Molten Chocolate Peanut Butter Bread comes close.
This recipe was inspired by one of the most amazing pumpkin bread recipes I’ve ever laid my eyes on over at Half Baked Harvest. Their Molten Chocolate Pumpkin Streusel Bread is divine. When I saw the picture of a chocolate molten center, I knew I needed it in my life.
My only thought was peanut butter bread would be a perfect substitute for the pumpkin. Don’t get me wrong, I love pumpkin bread, but with molten chocolate, peanut butter is just better.
Grab a cold glass of milk and bake up a loaf of this Molten Chocolate Peanut Butter Bread. Trust me – after you eat the first loaf in one sitting, you’ll need to make another for the rest of your family.
Enjoy! XOXO San
How do you make Molten Chocolate Peanut Butter Bread?
In a small microwavable mixing bowl, add in the chocolate and butter. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until chocolate and butter are well combined and smooth.
Whisk together the egg and sugar in a separate bowl until pale in color; this took me 3-4 minutes. Gently stir in the melted chocolate into the egg mixture.
Stir in the sea salt. Place the bowl of molten chocolate in the fridge while you make the peanut butter bread.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×5 loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, add milk, eggs, sugar, and peanut butter and mix on high until smooth. Add the remaining bread ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
Pour batter into the prepared 9-x-5-inch loaf pan.
Remove molten chocolate from fridge.
Using a spoon, create a little pocket in the middle of the peanut butter bread batter for the chocolate. Don’t stress, the batter will sink in. As you are creating the pocket in the batter, spoon the chocolate into the middle of the bread, creating a row of chocolate right down the center (see picture).
Using a butter knife, carefully spread some of the peanut butter bread batter over the chocolate, to enclose the molten chocolate center. Don’t stress for perfection, it will still turn out and taste amazing.
Bake for 55-60 minutes. Let the bread rest and cool for 15 minutes before removing it from the pan. Enjoy!

The recipe is wrong, and I used the last of my ingredients . The first step should be butter , not peanut butter. Oh well, let’s see how it comes out! Hopefully good!
