Celiac.com 12/07/2024 - A 19-year-old college student from Wisconsin tragically died after experiencing a severe allergic reaction to a gluten-free brownie. The cause of her reaction was traced to roasted peanut flour, which had been used in place of wheat flour in the treat. This heartbreaking incident not only underscores the life-threatening risks associated with peanut allergies but also highlights the importance of food safety and clear labeling, especially for individuals with severe allergies. Despite the tragedy, Hannah Glass’s family made the selfless decision to donate her organs, potentially saving several lives. The Incident Hannah Glass, a freshman at Maranatha Baptist University, consumed a gluten-free brownie on November 5, 2024, which had been prepared by a women's group for gluten-sensitive students on campus. Initially, the brownies were intended to provide a safe alternative to wheat-based desserts, but they unfortunately contained roasted peanut flour, a known allergen. When Hannah ate the brownie, she immediately experienced an allergic reaction. Her symptoms, including hives and vomiting, were not unusual to her; she had experienced similar reactions in the past due to her peanut allergy. However, this time the reaction escalated quickly. After taking some Benadryl and trying to rest, Hannah began to experience more severe symptoms, including shortness of breath and chest discomfort. Her condition deteriorated rapidly, and soon after, she collapsed. Despite administering her EpiPen and seeking medical help, Hannah’s situation continued to worsen, leading to a collapse of her lung, brain swelling, and eventual loss of consciousness. The Medical Response Hannah's parents rushed to the campus after being alerted to their daughter’s condition. They administered the EpiPen and called 911, seeking emergency medical assistance. Paramedics arrived and immediately began performing life-saving procedures. However, despite the swift response, Hannah’s condition continued to worsen. Once at the hospital, medical tests revealed that the severe allergic reaction had caused significant brain swelling, and her organs began to shut down. According to the family, Hannah's brain was critically damaged, and doctors confirmed that there was no hope for recovery. After several days of life support, her family made the heart-wrenching decision to take her off life support on November 10, 2024. A Selfless Gift: Organ Donation In the face of unimaginable loss, Hannah’s family chose to honor her memory by donating her organs to save the lives of others in need. On the day of the donation, hundreds of family members, friends, and medical staff gathered to pay their respects during an emotional "Honor Walk" at Froedtert Hospital. As the family walked alongside Hannah's gurney, they were reminded of the profound impact she had on others' lives, even in death. Her organs were successfully transplanted into patients in critical condition, offering hope to those who may have otherwise faced grim prospects. The decision to donate her organs was not easy for the Glass family, but they saw it as a way to turn their devastating loss into something that could help others avoid the pain they were feeling. “If we can save anybody else this depth of pain, at our expense, we must do it,” her father, David Glass, explained in a statement. Hannah’s mother, Janean, expressed her gratitude for the lives her daughter would continue to touch through this act of generosity. Peanut Allergy and the Dangers of Cross-Contamination This tragic incident brings attention to the severe dangers associated with peanut allergies, which can cause life-threatening reactions even with the smallest exposure. For individuals like Hannah, even trace amounts of peanuts or peanut products can trigger anaphylaxis, a rapid and severe allergic reaction that requires immediate medical intervention. Unfortunately, in this case, the use of roasted peanut flour in a gluten-free product designed for people with dietary restrictions like gluten sensitivity was an oversight that led to disaster. The presence of peanuts in a gluten-free treat highlights a serious concern for individuals with food allergies: cross-contamination. In this case, the ingredient was not clearly labeled as a peanut product, and the substitution of peanut flour for wheat flour likely went unnoticed. This oversight emphasizes the need for clear and accurate food labeling to prevent allergic reactions, particularly in settings where individuals with known allergies may be consuming food prepared by others. The Importance of Awareness and Preventative Measures Hannah’s story serves as a tragic reminder of the critical importance of awareness and preventative measures in managing food allergies. For those with severe allergies, even seemingly benign ingredients in prepared foods can lead to devastating consequences. The use of peanuts in a seemingly gluten-free product demonstrates the risks involved with cross-contamination, especially when food is not properly labeled or prepared in a controlled environment. This incident also highlights the importance of clear communication about food allergies in school and community settings. While the gluten-free diet is essential for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it’s equally important to ensure that other allergens, like peanuts, are not inadvertently included in food products. Regular training for food preparers, accurate ingredient labeling, and increased awareness about cross-contamination can help mitigate these risks and prevent tragic outcomes like the one experienced by Hannah. A Life Cut Short, but a Legacy of Giving The tragic death of Hannah Glass, while devastating, serves as an important reminder of the dangers of severe food allergies, especially peanut allergies. It highlights the need for greater vigilance, better labeling, and education about food allergens, particularly in settings where individuals with known allergies may consume food prepared by others. Hannah’s selfless decision to donate her organs, even in the face of overwhelming grief, has given hope to others in need and left a legacy of life-saving generosity. Her parents' strength in the face of unimaginable loss stands as a testament to their love for their daughter and their desire to make a positive difference in the world despite their pain. While her life was tragically cut short, Hannah’s story will continue to touch lives through the organ donations that have already saved others. Read more at: nypost.com

Since I love peanut butter and nuts, I figured it would be good...and it was! This bar is chewy, sweet, and filling. About 10 minutes after eating it, I felt more alert and had no desire to continue snacking. I highly recommend these bars for their nutritional value and outstanding taste.

PB Crave Cookie Nookie Gluten-Free Peanut Butter
Celiac.com Sponsor: Review posted an article in Product Reviews
If you want peanut butter that has the consistency of a soda fountain milkshake—not too thick but not too thin—this is it. I could not get enough of the Cookie Nookie flavor. It has just the right amount of sweetness thanks to a lovely combination of sugar, honey, and vanilla. For a great treat anytime, I highly recommend Cookie Nookie Gluten-Free Peanut Butter. Just make sure the adults in your family keep their supply away from the kitchen pantry that is shared with the kids during the upcoming school holiday vacation! -
Here is a fancy twist to the ever popular rice crispy treats. Using gluten-free ingredients, and adding in some chocolate and peanut butter, this is a dessert that you will have to hide from gluten eaters. Sure to be a hit, these chocolatey peanut-butter crispy rice treats are a yummy snack that you can add to your kids lunches, take on an outing or freeze for a later date. Chocolatey Peanut-Butter Crispy Rice Treats (Gluten-Free) Ingredients: 3 Tablespoons butter or butter substitute 1 (10 oz) bag gluten-free marshmallows 1/2 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract 1/5 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup gluten-free peanut butter 5 cups gluten free crispy rice cereal 1 cup gluten-free chocolate chips (optional) Grease an 8×8 square glass pan. Melt the butter in a large pan or dutch oven over low heat. Add the marshmallows, vanilla, salt and peanut butter, stirring constantly until melted and smooth; this takes several minutes. Remove from heat and add cereal, stirring until well mixed. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and press it into the pan with a greased spatula (or you can place a piece of waxed paper over it and press down). If you want to add a chocolate coating on top of your crispy rice treats, place chocolate chips in small, microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30 second intervals until melted; stirring as needed. Spread melted chocolate over the bars and allow to set completely, about 2 hours at room temperature ( you can also place them in the refrigerator or freezer to speed up this process). Cut bars into squares and serve.

GoodOnYa Peanut Butter and Honey Organic Gluten-Free Snack Bar
Gryphon Myers posted an article in Product Reviews
There are countless 'health' food snack bars and protein bars on the market, many of which aren't as healthy as their makers would have you think. On the other side of the spectrum, you have snack bars that are loaded with various superfoods and are really quite nutritious, but taste like cardboard. The Peanut Butter Honey GoodOnYa bar is what I would call a perfect middle ground – it is rich and flavorful, but filled with highly nutritious organic ingredients. Even better, it's not only gluten-free, but completely soy-free, dairy-free and grain-free as well. When I need a quick snack on the go, I usually go for fruit and a container of yogurt, which I feel is enough of an indulgence. After trying this peanut butter GoodOnYa bar though, I am seriously considering adding it to my morning routine. I adore peanut butter, and in this context, I don't have to feel bad about eating it. These are high quality organic peanuts that are tested by a third party for mold and bacteria (peanuts have gotten bad press over these issues in the past). These peanuts though, are just a rock-solid source of protein and vitamin E. This is a truly fillerless bar. Rather than grains, soy or corn, they've included a collection of superfood seeds: organic sprouted flax seeds and organic raw sesame and hemp seeds. These are all low GI 'slow burners;' the end result is a bar that fills you up and gives you energy without a sugar crash. The people at GoodOnYa have crafted a snack/protein bar with real integrity. It's deliciously peanut-buttery, and full of things that your body will eventually thank you for. Highly recommended! For more information, visit their website.

I’m always keeping an eye out for nutritional snacks that are convenient for “grab-and-go” moments. I recently came across Bakery On Main's Gluten-free Peanut Butter and Jelly Granola Bars and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. These bars are soft and chewy and are made with real peanut butter and dried strawberries so there are no mystery ingredients or artificial flavors, which always gives me extra peace of mind. What I did find surprising is that the bars also contained other nutritional gluten-free grains like quinoa and amaranth but my kids still liked them.

"Free-From" Peanut Butter Cookies (Gluten-Free)
Jules Shepard posted an article in Gluten-Free Cooking
Ok, I know these cookies aren't free from peanuts, but they are peanut butter cookies, after all! If you can do almonds, but not peanuts, definitely try this recipe with almond butter – yum! For the rest of us with other dietary restrictions, take heart! These cookies fit the bill! They're delicious, and still gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, and sugar-free! Yes, they even have a low glycemic index! Enjoy these cookies on their own, or add chocolate chips (dairy-free chips are great too!) for a change of pace. High protein, loads of vitamins and minerals, dietary fiber – it's all there, and in a cookie!!! Maybe I should have called these “Guilt-Free Cookies”!!! Don't be daunted by some of the unusual flour ingredients. Try them if you will, or just use my all purpose blend instead, for a quick and easy recipe substitution. Ingredients: 1 ½ cups peanut butter (natural or no sugar added) ¾ cup agave nectar (light or dark) 1 Tbs. gluten-free vanilla extract ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce ½ tsp. salt 1 cup Nearly Normal All Purpose Flour* ¾ cup buckwheat flour (or Nearly Normal All Purpose Flour) 2 Tbs. mesquite flour (or Nearly Normal All Purpose Flour) 2 Tbs. almond meal (or Nearly Normal All Purpose Flour) ½ cup+ chocolate chips (optional) Cinnamon and sugar (or granulated splenda) mixture (or cinnamon only) for tops of cookies *Nearly Normal All Purpose Flour may be made using the recipe found in my cookbook, Nearly Normal Cooking for Gluten-Free Eating, or on my Web site. Directions: Preheat oven to 350 F. Blend peanut butter and all liquid ingredients together, then add in the dry ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated. Prepare a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Roll balls of dough approximately the size of ping pong balls in your hands and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Dip a fork in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and press into each cookie to flatten with a criss-cross design. Bake for 10-12 minutes and remove to cool on the pan.

This recipe comes to us from “Fiddle-Faddle” in the Gluten-Free Forum. 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 350F, and they were SO GOOD! Ingredients: And its 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) Directions: Mix, dump, bake, devour! Theyre 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 325F (my oven runs hot, anyway).

Peanut Butter Cup Tarts (Gluten-Free)
Scott Adams posted an article in Pancakes (Gluten-Free Recipes)
This recipe comes to us from Sue DeVries. Use the same recipe as for Snickers Cookies except you will need 8 dozen small gluten-free peanut butter cups. Roll dough in 1 balls. Place in mini muffin pans. Bake at 375 for 6-7 minutes or until they are a light golden color. While the tarts are baking unwrap the candies. Press candies into the tarts as soon as they are removed from the oven. Let the finished tarts cool in the pans about 15 minutes before removing. The candy gets very soft and the tarts may fall apart if you try to take them out too soon. Slide a knife in beside the tarts to remove from the pan. Note: When I bake these I usually make both kinds at the same time since each recipe needs time for cooling. I make the dough and alternate between the tarts and cookies. If you do it this way, only buy half of each kind of candy. -
