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!!

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
