Gluten-free baking may sound daunting to some people, but the truth is it’s easy as pie! With a variety of gluten-free flours available on the market today, it’s easy to bake delicious gluten-free biscuits, cakes and bread. An important tip when baking gluten-free is that it is important to use the right amount of liquid and binders to achieve a successful result. This may mean that you need to adjust recipes or add special ingredients to achieve the desired consistency and texture.
For example, almond or coconut flour can be used as an alternative to wheat flour in many recipes. There are also many gluten-free flour blends that are specially formulated for gluten-free baking and contain a mixture of different flours and binders. In this case, I went for a great flour mix from Schär, which is ideal for the biscuits. I have been working with gluten-free alternatives for a very long time, and the recipes on my blog are sure to succeed.
Overall, gluten-free baking is an easy way to expand your culinary skills and also wow friends and family with gluten-free treats. Give it a try and be surprised by the delicious results!
Total time: 45 minutes
Baking time: 10-13 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 125 g peanut butter
- 125 g butter
- 200 g brown sugar
- 2 medium eggs should be at room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 250 g gluten-free flour (Schär, mix for cakes and biscuits)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 100 to 150 g chopped chocolate
Toppings:
- 50 g peanuts roasted and preferably unsalted
- 80 g chopped chocolate
PREPARATION
- For the dough, cream the softened peanut butter and butter with the sugar, add the salt.
- Stir in the eggs one by one until well blended.
- Add all the other dry ingredients to the bowl and mix well.
- Put the dough in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Form balls of the dough with your hands, place them on the baking tray with enough space between them (the cookies tend to melt) and flatten them slightly. Sprinkle the peanuts and chocolate drops on the unbaked biscuits and press them a little into the dough.
- Bake the cookies for about 10 to 13 minutes.
- They will spread quite a bit and be quite soft when you take them out, so it’s better to leave them on the tray first or they will crumble when you touch them.
You want the biscuits nice and soft and chewy, then bake these for only 10 minutes!
