I enjoy sweets just as much as anyone but since I have become ill and researched and found a nutritionist, well he has convinced me that we all eat too much sugar in our diets and frankly I can and do feel the sluggishness after consuming even moderate amounts of sugar. On the bright side I have more energy when I limit my intake including the sugar in fruits and veggies. Peanut butter does have sugar as well and adding a cup of sugar is something I cannot do. Agave is worse then sugar and the chemical substitutes are something I will never consume. I have tried stevia but its not so good and if you add just a bit to much it ruins it. I haven’t tried Xylitol yet. I have used yams in place of sugar with ok results but the texture does not make me happy. Being a Celiac and being on a long road back to feeling better I just do not want to consume too much sugar as it also does not digest well when my villi are still recovering. Any GF and sugar free recipes? Oh and don’t get me wrong I do cut the amounts of sugar in a recipe so its not like I don’t eat it but I don’t NEED it.

I made a batch of these for four of my children. They loved them:-) I plan to freeze them to have on hand for gluten free lunchboxes. They all wanted to go gluten free when I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease:-)

I just made these, the dough is awesome alone! They were still pretty crumbly and wet in the middle after 15 minutes, so I put them in a bit longer. My cookies are bigger than just a regular teaspoon drop so maybe thats why, I also cooked them on stoneware. Hoping they turn out after this round in the oven.

I have a similar recipe for peanut butter cookies which we all love. I got the recipe from annthgran.com, a machine embroidery site. My sister (who is gluten free) suggested rolling the peanut butter balls in sugar and pressing down with a Hersey’s Kiss. A similar cookie was a holiday favorite at our house.

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup peanut butter (we like Skippy all natural)

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp pure vanilla

Combine all ingredients. Make into walnut sized balls and place on parchment lined or lightly greased cookie sheet. With fork dipped in sugar press down to make criss-cross pattern on cookies. Bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes. Makes 18 cookies.

Does anyone have a good flourless brownie recipe?

Thank you!

This recipe sounds great. I can’t wait to try it.

Debra- Try 201gm sugar, 227gm peanut butter and about 1/2 that much in Chocolate chips (those are really to taste).

Hey,

I tried this recipe last night and it went quite wrong! I guessed the measurements as I don’t have a ‘cup’ measurer – we tend to measure everything in grams in the UK. Is there any chance you could give the recipe in grams please?
