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 don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
