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!!

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
