Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars From Karina

I tried another "Karina" recipe, here it is:

Open Original Shared Link

I made 1/2 a recipe...good thing b/c I might eat the whole pan full by myself :P

These can be very allergy friendly(except the peanuts), easy to adjust. Faster than cookies ;)

What I did:

I used Spectrum shortening, Ener G egg replacer, and sorghum flour mix with adding baking powder, soda and xanthan gum (recipe tells how much). I used less chocolate chips-3/4 cup, 1/2 cup in the dough and 1/4 cup sprinkled on top (for 1/2 recipe).

Sprayed an 8x8" pan, then pressed the dough into the pan with a fork, criss crossing the dough(made the bars look like peanut butter cookies). Baked them almost 20 minutes, until the edges looked a little crispy.

My bars are gluten-free, egg free, and dairy free. You could easily make them potato or corn free. Could be chocolate free too :mellow: . Her recipe also uses Pamela's baking mix for even faster results!

You can wrap and freeze for lunches/snacks.

I may try them with a little less sugar next time, I never pack my brown sugar.

This recipe sounds really good! I can't wait to try it!

Do you have any suggestion for school lunch that are also nut friendly. I having to send lunches now for my 6yrs old. The school has contaminated her some how? Don't know how just yet so until I find out I'm packing her lunches.

These are not chocolate and you can sub most anything...just make them however you like...they are AMAZING...taste kinda like apple crisp or gingersnaps or spice cake.

I use:

rice flour, sorghum, buckwheat, cornstarch, oats/part quinoa, 1 T. ground flax, Ener G, golden raisins, dried cranberries, chopped dates(always dates), chopped pumpkin seeds, sunflower kernels and chopped almonds. I also use 1 1/3 cups sugar or sub some of the sugar for honey or agave nectar. The dough will be a little crumbly when you press it into the pan. Karina gives lots of tips.

I didn't like them with peanuts or chocolate chips (I love choc. but not in these)

Someone used dried blueberries.

I make 2- 8x8 pans and put different add-ins in each pan. Cool, cut into granola bars, wrap and freeze for lunches/snacks.

Make extra b/c you will love them right out of the oven. Also, while you have all your dry ingredients out, open a ziploc bag and measure the dry ingredients into it, store in fridge, then next time just dump it into a bowl.

Her Banana Choc. Chip Bread (I made muffins with it) was fantastic, easy for school lunch.

Her Sweet Potato and Black Bead Enchiladas can be made w/o cheese. I used store bought green chili salsa, you could mix in tomato sauce or salsa or ground beef.

I will be trying her vanilla brownies soon.

Are you guys egg, dairy, nut and gluten-free? My dd is vegan/gluten-free. Any other recipes I can keep my eye out for?

*Tried Karina's Vanilla Brownies today (cookie recipe is the same).

Results: made 1/2 recipe, very gooey, could use less sugar, may try part coconut flour next batch, Ener G for egg, baked them longer-didn't seem to get done, tasted best after they cooled, may use less chips or add nuts. I would make them again with above adjustments.

i made these already. the first time i changed the reipe quite a bit.

i cut back on the brown sugar (maybe 1/4 C less)

i cut the chips in half

i baked in a much smaller pan than a 13x9... maybe a 5x9 can't remember off the top of my head.

i baked for the alloted amount of time and they weren't done in the middle so i cut the temperature back to say 350* abd baked for 8 more minutes. It ended up like a small cookie cake. very yummy. my husband and his friend ate over half in about an hour. :P i think that is a compliment

the second time i followed the directions (but still couldnt bring myself to using the alloted amount of chips. (i am a chocolate freak so this surprises even me) but i think in the end i like the thicker cake-like cookie

THANKS FOR THE RECIPE

There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
