This recipe for gluten-free peanut butter bars comes together in less than 15 minutes. You can use either dark or light brown sugar. Creamy peanut butter or crunchy peanut butter will work in this recipe.īrown Sugar: The brown sugar used in this recipe gives them a darker, richer flavor due to the molasses. In my opinion, it’s more reliable in baking than natural peanut butter (which is perfect for snacking!). Conventional peanut butter is made with fully hydrogenated vegetable oils, which help stabilize the peanut butter and prevent it from separating. I prefer baking with “conventional” peanut butter such as Jif or Skippy. Peanut Butter: The key ingredient to making Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars is definitely peanut butter. Flours blends used to develop this great recipe do contain xanthan gum. I just have not tested them in this application. I am not saying other brands will not work in this recipe. Both flour blends produced a tender, moist crumb and exceptional flavor. Gluten-Free Flour: I have tested this recipe with my own gluten-free flour blend, King Arthur Measure for Measure and Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1.
