Gluten-free Peanut Butter Brownies

I've been making these gluten-free peanut butter brownies a couple times a month for 9 years! See notes for easy dairy-free substitutions.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
• 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 1/3 cup butter or non-dairy alternative, softened
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 cup (6 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
2. In the bowl of your electric mixer, use the paddle blade to beat butter & peanut butter together until light and fluffy.
3. Gradually add sugar and brown sugar, creaming well.
4. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
5. Add vanilla extract and beat just until mixed in.
6. Add the flour mixture in 3 additions.
7. Beat until well mixed.
8. Stir in the chocolate chips.
9. Spread in a well greased 9" square baking pan. I usually use a glass 9" square Pyrex pan for this.
10. Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until it looks set in the middle.
11. Enjoy a warm gooey brownie, or let cool completely and enjoy a chewy brownie!
