Peanut Butter Brownies

I was actually trying to make peanut butter cookies, but I was running out of time, so I dumped the batter into a greased 9 x 13 pan and baked them for 25 minutes at 350, and they were SO GOOD!!!!!

And it's the same old peanut butter cookie batter we all use:

2 cups peanut butter

2 cups sugar

4 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

a couple of glugs of molasses (I like the flavor and texture)

Mix, dump, bake, devour! They're particularly good with chocolate frosting, or chocolate chips mixed in the batter, or both....

Note: I like my brownies chewy, so I might bake for only 20 minutes next time or else lower the temp to 325 (my oven runs hot, anyway).

Sounds yummy... and with the recent posts of a few moms with young kids who are fussy ideal for something to make with the kids...

Mix, dump, bake, devour!

Mmm... sounds like you could even scoop it right out of the mixing bowl....

Hi, I'm asking this question for my mother. She is the one who has to eat gluten-free. (she doesn't have a PC) Anyway, this recipe sounds very good, but she is wondering if it will turn out okay as there is no flour, potato starch, etc. in the recipe. Thanks for the help.......

When cooking with regular flour, what binds everything together is gluten - the protein found in the flour. Gluten-free flours do not have this protein, and that is what can cause problems with things becoming crumbly. This recipe here is very high in protein with the large amount of eggs and peanut butter. Having made the flourless peanut butter cookies the poster was referring to (1 cup peanut butter, 1 egg, 1 cup sugar, and maybe baking powder), I'm sure this would hold together very well.

In fact, recipes that have a lot of eggs, milk, nut butters, butter, and possibly some starch (but not always) along with the gluten free flours often do not need a binder like Xanthan gum or guar gum.

Umm, I tried to make it clear in my original post that I made them and they turned out really well (not just okay). I would not have posted the recipe if they had not turned out well.

Thanks, Juliet, for the explanation! I always wondered how those peanut butter cookies turned out so well without any flour!

I can understand Kay B.'s Question, I wouldn't have thought you could bake without some form of flour. It is GREAT to know that you can. I will make these today. Will have to scrub house top to bottom after because nephew has peanut allergy, but I have a peanut butter addiction. So thanks for giving me something to do today. I am sure I will enjoy them. Thanks again for your recipes.

YOU ROCK!

Thanks a lot Juliet & Fiddle-Faddle!........bear in mind my mother is 77 and she was just concerned that a mistake might have happened in the recipe. She is looking forward to making these Sat. for my great-niece's 2nd birthday. (if she actually gets any in her mouth!)

Sound yummy. Do you think you could use honey instead of molasses or just omit it altogether? i don't have molasses and I don't want to go get it. also, do you think it'd be okay to half the recipe? My hubby can't have PB so it would just be me and the kids eating it. :D THANKS

Thank you for posting this recipe, I made them yesterday, and it was the first gluten free thing dessert that I actually enjoyed. I am a big dessert person, so it is good to know that I can make something that doesn't have the texture of styrofoam. I am also the only one who is gluten free in a house of 11 people, and they all enjoyed them too!!

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
