Peanut Butter Cookie Bars (Gluten free Option)
Peanut butter cookie bars are one of my favorite desserts because I just cannot say no to the peanut butter and chocolate combination. These Peanut butter cookie bars are incredibly easy to make, chewy and soft! Basically just the BEST texture! I love a good sweet and salty dessert. These peanut butter cookie bars are so satisfying. They are similar to my chocolate chip cookie cake bars but with more peanut butter and a peanut butter cup on top! Since I am celiac, I used gluten free flour to make these.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter or vegan butter melted
- 1/4 cup applesauce or mashed banana
- 3 tbsp peanut butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/8 cups gluten free flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips or dairy free sub
- 9 reeses peanut butter cups or dairy free sun butter cups
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Mix together. This is a dump recipe which means you do not need to separate the wet and dry ingredients. Just mix it all up in one bowl.
- Add to an 8×8 or 9×9 parchment lined baking sheet.
- Add to oven. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Top with peanut butter cups and let melt for 5 minutes. I press the cups into the cookie bars to make sure they are secure.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
