Here’s a rich, fudgy gluten-free peanut brownies recipe that’s simple and seriously satisfying 🍫🥜
Gluten-Free Peanut Brownies
Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter (natural or regular)
¾ cup sugar (white or brown)
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
½ cup chocolate chips (make sure they’re gluten-free)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Mix wet ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
Add dry ingredients
Stir in cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.
Fold in chocolate chips
Save a few for topping if you like 😉
Bake
Pour batter into the pan, spread evenly, and bake for 18–22 minutes.
Cool completely
Let them cool before cutting—this helps them firm up and stay fudgy.
Tips for Best Results
Use natural peanut butter for a deeper flavor (but stir it well first).
Don’t overbake—slightly underbaked = fudgier brownies.
Add chopped peanuts for extra crunch if you like texture.
Optional Variations
Swirl in a little extra peanut butter on top before baking.
Add a pinch of espresso powder to intensify the chocolate flavor.
Sprinkle flaky salt on top after baking for that sweet-salty combo.
If you want, I can give you a healthier version (no sugar / keto) or a flour-based gluten-free version too 👍
