Peanut butter brownies tend to be a little thicker and heavier than plain, butterscotch, or chocolate chip. They can be made with either smooth peanut butter, chunky peanut butter, chopped peanuts, or peanut butter chips. Each adds a different flavor or texture. Chunky peanut butter, chips, or chopped nuts will be more difficult to eat. Creamy peanut butter will be smoother and softer. With instant oatmeal included, they make a quick breakfast bar. They can also be crumbled over gluten free, lactose free ice cream for a fun summer treat. Or add a layer of peanut butter frosting after baking. ***
*** Do not give peanut butter brownies to a child who has not been tested for peanut allergy.
