These last weeks have been hectic, with my house being sold, a lot of work, the blogs and a new course I signed up for, which is similar to an extra job (for which I’m paying, lol!).
In the midst of all this, I made my Secret Recipe Club challenge in advance, not wanting to leave an orphan, and because I found a really great recipe for peanut butter bread in Sarah’s site, Fantastical Sharing of Recipes, which was just the simple recipe I craved. She is also our group’s leader, so it’s extra nice to be roaming her blog for a recipe.
Ingredients
For the peanut butter bread:
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
½ cup buckwheat flour
1 Tbs baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butter, at room tº
½ cup sugar

1 cup milk

2 Tbs light corn syrup
225g semisweet chocolate, chopped
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
