EASY GLUTEN FREE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES (USING GF CAKE MIX)



Easy Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies (Using Gf Cake Mix) image

This is from the Cake Mix Doctor's gluten free baking book. I really love all her recipes, and don't feel so guilty about "cheating" with cake mix since most of the GF cake mixes out there have pretty pure, healthy ingredients. Not an overwhelming PB flavor, and you get a nice chewy cookie.

EASY PEANUT BUTTER VEGAN MUG CAKE



Easy Peanut Butter Vegan Mug Cake image

You're 3 minutes away from sweet tooth attack to moist, rich cake in your hot little hands. I affectionately call this "teacup cake" because it's a petite version that makes just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 3m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons white whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour (sub your favorite gluten-free flour blend for a GF version)
2 tablespoons peanut butter (I use all-natural creamy peanut butter)
2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (can substitute dairy milk for a non-vegan version)
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (could substitute granulated sugar, brown sugar, or honey [but honey is not vegan])
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
Chocolate chips or chocolate chunks for topping

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients except the chocolate chips (if using) to an 8-ounce or larger microwave-safe mug. Use a fork to stir together until combined. It might seem lumpy at first but keep stirring and it'll resemble cake batter in no time!
  • Microwave on high until the cake has risen and springs back slightly when you poke it, 45-60 seconds. If it's not done after 60 seconds, try cooking in 15-second intervals until done. (To bake in the oven, heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and place batter in an oven-safe ramekin or oven-safe mug. Bake until domed and the top springs back when you poke it, 15-20 minutes. )
  • Top with chocolate chips or chunks if desired and enjoy right away.

QUICK & EASY CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CAKE



Quick & Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake image

This recipe came from a lady who used to make this for a bingo consession stand. It is soo good and soo easy. The hardest part is finding plain chocolate cake mix in a box! But I am sure you substitute a homemade chocolate cake as well. Just make sure it is plain chocolate because anything else (devils food, double choc, etc.) may be too rich. If you want, you could substitute light or sugar free items in order to be a little healthier.
