gluten-free chocolate peanut butter brownies

Gluten-free Peanut Butter Brownies Recipe

Do you have a fave family dessert? We may have found a new one. Over the hols we set out to make regular brownies but while I was shopping for the ingredients I found Reece’s Peanut Butter Chips and noticed that they’re gluten-free! This was an exciting discovery as choc peanut butter flavour is one of mine and Max’s faves.

These brownies are extremely gooey and delicious and totally gluten-free.

For this recipe I took a traditional brownie recipe and used rice flour in place of wheat flour, and threw in a handful of Peanut Butter Chips to see how it would work. It was an absolute hit.

We’ve made this again since school has gone back which is definitely a record for me in terms of baking. Ha. These brownies are extremely gooey and delicious and totally gluten-free.

Gluten-free Peanut Butter Brownies Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup Cadbury Baking Chips
3/4 cup Reeces Peanut Butter Chips
250g butter, chopped
1 3/4 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
1/3 cup cocoa powder, sifted
1 1/4 cups rice flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C . Pour chocolate chips and chopped butter in a saucepan and stir over a low heat until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
  2. Pour sugar, eggs, cocoa, rice flour, baking powder and peanut butter chips in a bowl. Add the chocolate mixture and stir until the mixture is smooth. Pour into a 20cm square tin lined with baking paper.
  3. Bake for 50 mins or until you can poke a skewer into the centre and it comes away without mixture stuck to it. Allow to cool then slice and serve.

Notes

To make these suitable for school snacks simply omit the Reece’s Peanut Butter Chips (which is how Rose prefers her brownies).

Good supervised jobs for kids include: pouring in the ingredients and stirring the chocolate on the stove, it’s pretty magical to see the chips turn into liquid chocolate!

Let’s Hang Out

  • ‘everything in the world comes down to time in the end. happiness is a time you’re looking forward to, or time you look back on. it’s all about time passing.’ #annetyler i was chatting with my grown-up son the other day and we were agreeing that right now, sometimes it feels like time has just... stopped. i have a lot of space to just be. sometimes i find myself reliving happy moments in my mind. it’s interesting the things that come back to you. the clarity that perspective brings. the narrowing down, and the sifting through. what rises to the surface, when the noise falls away.
  • daughter 🌹 this one and her brother couldn’t be loving #stayhome life more. they’ve entertained each other and us (including writing, directing and performing a post-apocalyptic themed play), they’ve embraced having their dad and i take turns teaching them (they made up their own anthem for homeschool), and while they’ve spent more than their fair share of iso school hols on screens, basically, during these strange and trying times, they’ve been, and are, a joy and a delight ✨ here i tried to take a portrait of rose and she turned the camera on me. because that’s what your children will do, right?
  • a couple of weeks ago i tried to fathom the current state of things as a whole. mistake. being newly single and separated from the little kids for part of the week adds another layer to things. this is just my deal right now. everyone has their own stuff going on. it’s a lot. never have i ever spent so much time in public parks and gardens. i think we all have a greater appreciation of the world that isn’t human right now. the other day, apropos of nothing, rose said to me: i love nature. and i feel like humans just build things and wreck everything. they don’t care about nature unless it helps them. max started telling her how she could help (regeneration programs) i started talking about voting. but mostly i hugged her, and said yeah, that’s true. cause humans. sheesh. comparatively speaking, we’re doing okay here. but i share this now, cause when i read of other’s struggles, for a moment i feel less alone. maybe hearing mine will do that for you too 🤍
