Tasty and peanutty and I don't have to take out my mixer for this so it's a bit quicker and easier. Recipe is from a Junior League cookbook.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup shelled peanuts, chopped
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 egg
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup buttermilk

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°, grease a 9-inch loaf pan.
Spread 3 tablespoons of the butter over the bottom of the pan; cover with 1/4 cup brown sugar and chopped peanuts.
Whisk the flour, soda, baking powder, and salt together.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter with the peanut butter.
Beat the egg until frothy and beat in the 1 cup brown sugar gradually; stir in the peanut butter mixture and the buttermilk.
Mix this liquid mixture with the dry ingredients but do not beat; pour the batter over the brown sugar topping and bake 1 hour.
Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then invert on a rack.
