CHOCOLATE CHIP-PEANUT BUTTER BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9- x 5-inch loaf pan.
• Into a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips Make a well in the dry ingredients and set aside.
• In another bowl, with the electric mixer beat the peanut butter, sugar, egg, milk, and vanilla. Pour these wet ingredients into the well and lightly stir with a fork until combined.
• Combine the crumb topping ingredients in a small bowl. Reserve.
• Spoon 1/2 of the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top, then sprinkle with 1/2 of the crumb mixture. Spoon over the remaining batter, smoothing it out, and sprinkle with the remaining crumb mixture. With a round bladed knife draw through mixture to marbelize lightly.
• Bake 50-55 minutes. Tester should come out moist with no uncooked crumbs. Cool on a rack 25 minutes then turn out carefully, top side up. When completely cool, wrap in foil and keep a day before serving.

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease and flour. Set aside.
• In a large bowl using a stand or hand-held electric mixer, cream together the peanut butter and brown sugar on medium speed until well combined and no sugar lumps remain. Add in the eggs and vanilla and continue mixing until combined.
• In a separate medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Then in a large liquid measuring cup add the yogurt and milk, then stir or whisk them together. With the mixer on low speed, add in about 1/2 of the flour mixture followed by 1/2 of the milk & yogurt mixture. Turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of your bowl as needed. Once combined, repeat with the rest of the flour mixture and wet ingredients. Be careful not to overmix. Finally, turn off the mixer and stir in the chocolate chips using a large wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
• Pour or spoon the batter into your prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the top with chocolate chips if desired. Bake for 50-60 minutes. When the loaf is ready, an inserted toothpick should come out clean or with a crumbs. Check the loaf around 45 minutes, and if the top is getting too browned tent a piece of aluminium foil over the top of the pan. Once finished cooking, allow the loaf to cool completely before cutting in.

CHOCOLATE CHIP PEANUT BUTTER BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F Lightly grease and line a 9x5 loaf pan with a sheet of parchment paper. This will allow you to lift it out easily after baking.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt together and set aside.
• Whisk or beat the peanut butter, sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla together in a mixing bowl. Make sure to beat well so it is all evenly combined.
• Add the dry ingredients alternately to the bowl with the half and half, beginning and ending with the dry. Fold in one cup of the chocolate chips.
• Spread the batter into your prepared pan and smooth out the top. The batter will seem a bit greasy at this point. Top the bread with the reserved 1/3 cup of chips and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out without wet batter on it. I like to tend the bread with foil after about 40 minutes so the top doesn't brown too much.
• Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then gently lift it out to a rack. Try to let the bread cool a bit more before slicing, but I can never wait very long...it's amazing warm.

CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/fan 160C.Gather together and weigh all the ingredients.
• Chop 200g/7oz of the plain chocolate into rough, irregular chunks. Chop the milk chocolate in the same way, but keep separate.
• Break the remaining plain chocolate into a large heatproof mixing bowl. Melt in the microwave on medium for about 11⁄2 minutes (or over a pan of simmering water).
• Stir the chocolate until melted, then tip in the sugar, butter, peanut butter, egg and vanilla and beat with a wooden spoon until well mixed. Stir in the flour, all the milk chocolate chunks, the nuts (no need to chop) and half the plain chocolate chunks. The mixture will feel quite soft, and drop easily from the spoon if you shake it.
• Drop big spoonfuls in 12 piles on to 2 or 3 baking sheets, leaving room for them to spread (you may need to bake in batches). Stick the remaining chunks into the cookies (2-3 pieces in each).
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until they are tinged very slightly darker around the edges. The smell will let you know they are ready. They will be soft in the middle, but will crisp up as they cool. (Cook for longer and you'll have crisper cookies.) Let them cool and firm up for a few minutes on the baking sheet (they'll break if you move them while still hot), then lift off with a wide spatula on to a cooling rack. They will keep crisp in an airtight tin for 3-4 days.
