Peanut Butter Brownies

The SCD Peanut Butter Brownies are very simple to make, they're not challenging at all! However, it is something that we make quite frequently in our household. They are always put in lunch boxes to eat at work, or taken on trips for a quick snack. They can be made in a 9x13 dish, but I personally like to make them in ceramic ramekins! They make a great dessert! The only specification I feel that I need to make is that when using peanut butter, it must only contain "SCD legal" ingredients. We have found a Smuckers brand (shown below) that contains only peanuts and 1% of salt. (Don't forget to always refrigerate after opening!)

1 Cup natural peanut butter
1/2 Cup honey
1/2 Teaspoon baking soda
1 Egg

Mix all ingredients well. Spoon into dish or ramekins and bake at 350º for 25-30 minutes.
(I have found the brownies bake slower when baked in ramekins, so you may need to adjust your time depending on what dish you're baking in.)
ENJOY!

Hi, I'm Laura. This blog will serve to share recipes with anyone trying to follow the specific carbohydrate diet (SCD). All my recipes will be refined sugar-free, grain-free, gluten- free, and lactose-free. So, the recipes could also be used to help cooks who have, or are cooking for some who has, Celiac Disease, IBD, Diabetes, etc. My recipes go along with the book "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" by Elaine Gotschall, which I recommend strongly! The book will give detailed explanations of how certain foods can be used to heal. I am by no means a chef, I just began cooking when I got married to my wonderful husband eight months ago. So, my recipes are a work in progress. My husband was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 2011, and each of these recipes is being used to heal him. The website title, "Curing Crohn's" may seem strange to some, because doctor's tell you it's incurable. But my husband and I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that with God, nothing is impossible!

Like I mentioned previously, I am not a professional chef quite yet, so comments are welcomed! I would love to hear from you! My hope is that, through this site, I can inspire those who are changing their lifestyles for the better! Enjoy!
