These peanut butter topped chocolate gluten free brownies are an amazingly scrumptious treat! I had the privilege of sampling them at an Easter dinner that Kaelie hosted…I had to have two! My entire family enjoyed them. If you are a peanut butter and chocolate fan, this marries the best of both worlds!

Peanut Butter Topped Gluten Free Brownies Recipe<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

by Kaelie Ann Huculak Belanger<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 1\/2 cups of gluten free all purpose flour mix<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 tsp of sifted gluten free baking powder<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3\/4 tsp of sea salt<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2\/3 cups of butter or margarine or coconut oil or a combination<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2 cups of granulated white sugar<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

4 large eggs<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 cup of gluten free semi sweet chocolate chips (melted in your microwave for 2-3 minutes)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 cup of your favorite brand of \u00a0low fat peanut butter (or you can use full fat peanut butter, if you prefer)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9 by 13 inch pan (either glass, metal or ceramic) with pam, lard, shortening or coconut oil. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In a medium sized mixing bowl beat the butter (or margarine, coconut oil, or combination) with the white granulated sugar for 4 minutes on medium speed until fluffy and well combined. Gradually beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping the mixing bowl often.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Beat in the gluten free all purpose flour mix, slowly until mixed well. Now comes the fun part! Take 2 cups of the gluten free batter and remove to separate\u00a0<\/span>b<\/span>owl that is medium sized.<\/span><\/p>\n

Add the melted chocolate to the bowl with 2 cups of the brownie batter. Stir briskly until the chocolate is mixed into the batter well and spread evenly in the bottom of the greased 9 x 13 baking pan. Use the back of a spoon to even it out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Add the 1\/2 cup of your \u00a0favorite brand of peanut butter (if you are adventurous, you can make your own peanut butter) to the remaining batter and beat until smooth. <\/span><\/p>\n

Spoon the gluten free peanut butter batter over the chocolate batter and spread as evenly as possible. Bake the gluten free peanut butter topped brownies for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick or cake tester inserted comes out clean.<\/span><\/p>\n\"gluten_free_peanut_butter_brownie\"<\/a>\n

Cool the cooked brownies in the pan on a wire cooling rack. Cut the brownies while still warm. Enjoy this mouth watering treat that will make memories of childhood!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

I think that one of the special things about these gluten free peanut butter topped brownies is that they are unique enough to be a special treat…and yet, easy enough to be on your baking list permanently. They look and taste special without needing a lot of work. If you keep a big batch of the all purpose mix on hand, you can whip these up in a matter of 10 minutes, which is quicker than a trip to a specialty store for a great gluten free goodie!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
