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!!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
