Peanut Butter Snickers Brownie (gluten free)
Dive into my Peanut Butter Snickers Brownie.
I have had a love hate thing with Brownies. As a Coeliac it is the most common thing you’ll find to eat when your out and about.
A sad, hard, small square individually wrapped to avoid contamination. Ultimately the most boring brownie of earth.
So I stopped eating them. But I have returned to my love of Brownies with this recipe. These are the ultimate in gooey chocolatey goodness, with the added bonus of Peanut butter.
My kids love to eat a Peanut Butter Snickers brownie warm with a glass of milk. I prefer them with ice cream! If you can wait till they’ve cooled they make a great afternoon tea treat or a cheeky lunch box snack.
Cooking with Kids?
This is a great recipe to make with children. Get them to help with the weighing and measuring. Kids love to help mixing up the brownie mixture too. Just ensure caution is taken when placing in and taking out of the oven.
Is it Vegan?
This recipe is not suitable for people following a vegan diet, as Snickers and baking margarine contain dairy. However there are some great recipes to make vegan snickers.
If you did want to make a vegan version. You could switch the baking margarine for a vegan alternative and omit the snickers bar.
Do I need any specialist equipment?
I recommend you use an electric mixer to whisk the egg mixture but this can be done with a hand whisk or even a fork.
You can also substitute the swiss roll tin for another shaped tin, just be aware that if it is smaller, the mixture will be thicker and will take more time to cook.
