This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of the National Peanut Board. All opinions are entirely my own.

This gluten-free peanut butter chocolate bread topped with oats is simply divine. You can toast slices of bread in a pan, make French toast or perhaps a delightful breakfast strata with day old bread.

I must admit it tastes magical! You may even use regular flour and add mashed bananas. We absolutely savour it in any way possible.

Frequently, I would say that my household runs on peanut-butter. We eat it for breakfast or a snack and many times for lunch as well.

To be completely honest, sometimes we even make breakfast for dinner and serve it with a cold glass of milk or a relaxing cup of tea.

So here is one fun fact about me. Graciously allow me to explain. While my kids grew up eating peanut butter ever since they were able to eat it, I did not taste Peanut Butter before the age of 18. I know! It is probably shocking to so many people.

I genuinely enjoyed everything that included peanuts, but it was not popular treat where I was raised. I do not think we even had it in our markets.

Maybe in some specialty stores, but I never had seen it before I came to the USA. Here is where my love for Peanut Butter blossomed.

That being said, nowadays I eagerly devour it with a spoon when I desperately need a quick snack. A spoon of PB with a piece of delicious chocolate is my daily after a workout.

I am pretty certain I have caught up to 18 years of not eating it because peanut butter made from roasted peanuts are probably one of my favorite flavors, especially in a decadent dessert.

I truly hope you guys make this recipe with your favorite Peanut butter brand. Now it is your turn to spread the peanut butter love!

Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole Milk
• 1/4 cup Sour Cream
• 2 large Eggs
• 3/4 cup Swerve Granulating Sugar
• 1 cup Smooth Peanut Butter
• 1 3/4 Gluten Free Flour
• 1 tbsp. Baking Powder
• 1 1/4 cup GF Rolled Oats, reserve 1/4 cup for the top
• 1 cup Chocolate Chunks or Chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Warm up about 2 cups of water and place peanut butter jar in the large cup of a saucepan. This method will soften the peanut butter. It will be easier to incorporate to the smooth constancy with the rest of the ingredients. You may also add peanut butter in the microwave-safe dish and use the melt method until peanut butter is completely soft.
3. In a large bowl combine warm milk, sour cream, eggs, and soften peanut butter. Using an electric hand mixer, mix all the ingredients until smooth.
4. Measure all the dry ingredients and combine them together.
5. Once combined slowly add to the wet and with a spatula to prevent over mixing, combine wet and dry ingredients.
6. Pour into the loaf pan, lined with parchment paper if possible or use nonstick pan well-greased.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes in the middle rack of the oven.
8. Make sure to check the bread after 20 minutes of baking. If the top of the bread is browning too fast, cover it with aluminum foil and then continue baking until the bread is cooked.
9. You may remove the loaf from the baking pan after 10 minutes but allow the bread to cool down completely before slicing.

Notes

You may use:

• Any brand of Peanut Butter that you prefer.
• Chocolate or omit if you do not like it.
• Regular Flour instead of Gluten Free
• Regular Sugar instead of Swerve

These are probably the best homemade dinner rolls ever. Also, I will take bread over dessert anytime. That might sound crazy to some people, but that’s me.

You can either love as I am or hate me. Well, you have no reason to hate me, but you know what I mean.

I just really love bread with anything, and my family is like me. These rolls are incredibly delicious and easy to make.

It does take a bit patient, but that’s baking in general and it is totally worth it.

If you do not have the time to enjoy the process then you are not a baker. I might not be a cake maker, but I really enjoy making pies, rolls, biscuits, and bread.

As you may notice I make everything with my hands. I do not use a large bowl, measuring cups/spoons, food scale, and a wooden spoon or multifunctional spatula.

Maybe one day when I am unable to knead the dough, I will invest in something like KitchenAid.

However, for now, I really enjoy working with my hands. If you wish to use Stand Mixer with kneading attachment please make your life easier and use it. 

I make these days ahead for so we have them for sandwiches or school lunch. Most of the time I double the dough and refrigerate.

I grew up having weekend family feasts, so I love implementing that tradition with my own family as well.

It makes my heart full of joy having all my children around the table, delicious aroma of the cooked meal, usually roasted chicken and potatoes, with these rolls on the side in a basket cooling off. 

Anyhow, I hope you guys enjoy making these tasty rolls. If you do make this recipe for Homemade Dinner Rolls, please share it with me.

Proofing Time: 1 hour 40 minutes

Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes

Easy and tasty homemade dinner rolls.

Print

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp. dry yeast
• 1 tbsp. Sugar
• 1/4 cup Luke Warm Water
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. Salt
• 1 tsp. Baking Powder
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 stick unsalted butter melted
• 2 large eggs + 1 egg for brushing on the rolls

Instructions

1. Combine flour, salt, and baking powder.
2. Then take about 1/4 cup of warm milk and pour over sugar and dry yeast; Let it sit until the yeast gets activated {and this will tell you if the yeast is still active}
3. Add room temperature eggs to melted and slightly cooled butter.
4. Pour warm milk to activated yeast, then add mixed eggs and butter mixture and mix it.
5. To wet mixture add dry ingredients (flour, salt and baking powder) and mix it until you cannot mix anymore with a wooden spoon or a spatula.
6. Knead it until well combined, about 10 minutes of constant kneading. If you do not wish to knead it with your hands use KitchenAid with kneading/hook attachment and knead until the texture is smooth and elastic.
7. Cover it and let it rise for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
8. Brush each roll either with melted unsalted butter or mixed egg (I liked it with mixed eggs, and after baking lightly brushing with butter)
9. Add everything bagel seasoning, about 1/4 teaspoon or more on each roll.
10. Allow them to rise for at least one hour, preferably one hour and a half.
11. Bake the rolls at 400F for about 22 to 25 minutes OR until the rolls are golden brown.
12. Once done cover the pan with a cotton kitchen towel and let it cool down before serving.

Notes

You can: after you brush rolls with egg or butter you can sprinkle some sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top before letting them rise. Or you can keep them plain, or add whatever topping that you prefer. The size of the rolls before the second rise should be smaller than the size of the tennis ball, but they will rise more in the oven. You can make 8 large rolls or about 12 smaller ones.

If you have leftover dough: This dough is even better after a few days of refrigeration. Just make sure to cover very well, the best way is to place in a Large Storage Plastic Bag (for vegetables or meat) close, take the air out and place it in the fridge for up to 2 days.

When you want to use it, just let it rise on the room temp. for about 30 min. Line the baking pan with parchment paper. Roll the dough into a long log, then cut approximately equal slices of dough, as you can see of step by step pictures. Roll each slice into a dinner roll.

You may dust a bit of flour or you can use marble surface for easier rolling. Place each dinner roll on the baking pan. Make enough space in between so the rolls have the space to rise.

Nevertheless, this kind of bread is perfect the next day, so since we have leftovers I genuinely enjoyed every little crumb of this bread with my morning coffee or afternoon tea. Additionally, I love baking it in square cake pans because it comes out perfectly baked and far less dense than when I bake banana bread in my loaf bread.

With that being said, if I do bake in my loaf pan, I always use less batter because I consider my middle part a bit more baked (laughing my butt off haha).

No, seriously, have you ever baked banana bread, and it looks superb, but when you slice into the bread, it’s like raw? I can’t even tell you how many times that happen to me so that’s why I switched completely to square baking pans.

Okay, I hope Y’all make this bread and like it…

HAPPY COOKING!

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 1 hour

Servings 9 SQUARES

Author Sandra | Sandra's Easy Cooking

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
• 1 cup Old Fashioned Oats Rolled Oats
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
• 2 Large Eggs
• 1/4 cup Canola oil
• 1/2-3/4 cup Brown Sugar preferably dark
• 1/2 cup Honey 3/4 cup Maple Syrup could be used
• 3-4 ripe Bananas
• 1 cup Chopped Walnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour Non-Stick Square Cake Pan 9x9 or use parchment paper like I did.
2. Combine together the flour, oats, sugar, salt, baking powder, soda and cinnamon powder in a large bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together until somewhat smooth in texture: bananas (that you previously just smashed with a fork), Eggs, Honey and Canola Oil. I used an electric mixer.
4. Now to the wet mixture add dry mixture, combine it together then add chopped walnuts (or any nuts that you prefer), and fold the nuts in the batter.
5. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the bread (or into the crown of the bread, if you are making a loaf)., and it comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack.
6. Allow it to cool completely, or at least for an hour before serving.

Recipe Notes

This bread is even better the next day, just heat it for 30 seconds in the microwave and you will be amazed. You can also make this as muffins or a loaf pan, although I like it in this type of baking pan because it bakes much better. If you like your banana bread sweeter use 3/4 cup of brown sugar. I liked mine just the way it is, but we all have different tastes. If the honey is too sugary you can place a jar in a warm water for a couple of minutes until the honey becomes soft and smooth in texture.

 

LOVE, PEACE, AND ROCK-N-ROLL,
