Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Brownies Recipe

Craving a decadent, fudgy brownie but need it to be gluten-free? Look no further! These gluten-free peanut butter brownies are the answer to your sweet tooth prayers. They’re rich, intensely chocolatey, and swirled with creamy peanut butter for the perfect balance of flavors. Plus, they’re surprisingly easy to make.

Why This Recipe Works:

• Gluten-Free Goodness: We use a blend of gluten-free flour (specifically, a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend) to ensure a tender, chewy texture without any of the gluten.
• Peanut Butter Perfection: The peanut butter swirl adds a delightful nutty flavor and a beautiful visual appeal.
• Fudgy and Dense: These brownies are everything a brownie should be – fudgy, dense, and intensely chocolatey.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup gluten-free 1:1 baking flour blend
• 1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8 inch baking pan.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
3. Stir in vanilla extract. Beat in eggs one at a time.
4. Gradually stir in gluten-free flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Pour batter into prepared pan.
6. Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter over the batter. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the peanut butter into the batter.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with fudgy crumbs.
8. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Tips and Tricks for the Best Gluten-Free Brownies:

• Don’t Overbake: Overbaking will result in dry brownies. Err on the side of slightly underbaked for the perfect fudgy texture.
• Use Room Temperature Eggs: Room temperature eggs emulsify better, resulting in a smoother batter.
• Cool Completely: Trust us, these are worth the wait! Cooling allows the brownies to set up properly.
