Hello,

A little update. A lady at church had both knees operated on and her son is celiac. Yesterday I made their family gluten free lasagna and a salad for dinner. At her house she gave me some cookies that her son made. I am totally impressed with these and the recipe is just so easy...

Enjoy...

Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)

1 tsp. baking soda

1 egg

6 oz. chocolate chips

Mix brown sugar, peanut butter baking soda and egg. Stir in chocolate chips by hand. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto greased baking sheet.

Bake at 350* for 10 minutes.

Oh, boy, this looks good. It is also simple enough even for me :lol: I would have to use an egg replacer, but it still should work.

Thanks for posting :D

Have you tried making this with any other nut butters? I'm thinking it would be great with almond or cashew butter, too.

I haven't tried making them at all yet. I'm a wimp in the kitchen so far with making things you have to bake, but am fine with dinners. Just tried them at someone's house and they are really good. I don't know anything about the texture of the other butters, but these come out pretty thick so a thinner butter would probably work just fine.

My daughters home sick today so no dance tonight...means I have some extra time on my hands. Hmmmm..........I think I will make some!

Hi All!

These are my FAVORITE cookies! My sister found the recipe for me a few years back on Epicurious.com and if I ever need to bring a dessert or am hosting a party I always make these. They are now my non-gluten free friends favorites as well. Some tips. Use the thickest pb you can find, and pref the crunchy kind. I am a fan of JIFF crunchy or Skippy Crunchy. If you use creamy pb they tend to come out really flat. Also, I use mini chocolate chips, i think they are easier to work with and give a better peanut butter to chocolate ratio. Also don't over cook, 10 minutes should be a-ok. Love these cookies!!!

Oh, I forgot to ask, how do they behave when baking? Seems like they would spread all over?

TIA

They do spread quite a bit, so make them sort of on the smallish side and with lots of room in between. When I take them out, I usually let them cook a bit more on the cookie sheet. Surprisenly the crumble factor on these is not too too bad. Must be all the fat from the PB. When I moved into my apartment last year, I literally ate these for two days straight b/c I had no food. Best two days of my life!

:D LOL funny how we eat when we are out of food!

I did a search on Epicurious for flourless and there are 12 recipes but 8 of them are flourless chocolate cake.

Don't care though, I am hungry and this sounds so good.

The ones I tried were more rounded than flat. I was told to form them slightly into a ball and press in the chocolate chips. It doesn't seem like this recipe spreads too much.

I'll be making thems soon so I'll let you know. :)

I do a variation of this I skip the baking soda, use egg replacer and put in a tablespoon of pure vanilla. I usually triple or quadruple it because when I bring them somewhere they always go so fast.

Mine dont seem to spread at all.

Oooh, these are yummy! I've made them with a similar/same recipe. I was actually going to try making it with Stevia next time, as my mom is a newly diagnosed diabetic, and it's all natural. Thanks for posting this!

Well, I made them before dinner (big mistake), ate 3 and then had dinner. They are delicious and really easy. I'm not that fond at baking and didn't mind doing them at all. Mine didn't spread out at all. I used Smuckers all natural peanut butter.

For those of us with peanut allergy, chunky Sunbutter might work--

Sounds delish to me. :)

I think pretty much any 'butter' works. Some people do almond butter with almond extract.

You are welcome! I'm happy to share it. :D

I made a double batch Tuesday before dinner and they disappeared this morning. My kids really love them and they even got to help make them.

I mentioned this on an earlier thread about these cookies, but I'll mention it again. Don't use turbinado sugar! Not unless you like crunchy sugar in your PB cookies. I'll be trying these with honey sometime soon.

I'd love to do them with honey. Please let us know how they turn out.

I make the second recipe posted all the time (the ones without chocolate chips), but I'm going to try the chocolate chip one when I get home tonight :) I make mine with sunflower seed butter (peanuts make me sick), and they're just as good as the peanut butter ones. They also travel well. I usually make a batch when I travel to places like England when I've got a week or two of traveling and staying with relatives whose houses aren't the most gluten-free friendly. It's nice to have something safe and yummy to fall back on that will last the week or two that I'm gone. Plus one cookie is enough to take the edge off my hunger when I can't eat a full meal.

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms. The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten...

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
