A good friend of mine shared this recipe with me. Of course, it was not gluten free when I received it - but now, thru cunning adaptation, here it is! LOL :D
Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
1/2 Cup Shortening
3/4 Cup White Rice Flour
1/4 Cup Tapioca Flour
1/4 Cup Corn Starch
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp Xanthum gum
1/2 cup jelly - favorite flavor
Cream together sugars, peanut butter, shortening in a bowl. Mix flours, starches, baking powder, soda and xgum together well. Slowly add to the sugar/PB mixture.
Reserve 1 Cup of batter. Press remaining into a 13 X 9" pan. Spread jelly over top. Crumble reserved batter overtop.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
Let cool COMPLETELY on a wire rack before cutting.
Enjoy with a glass of milk. :D

daggum tasty - frickafraka- now I want a PB&J sandy- grrrrr. (These are really good and yummy...)
My little boy would love these! Thanks for posting this recipe. I am going to have to come up with a sub for the cornstarch.
Hi Natalie!
You can use potato starch instead (not potato flour). It will work the same way OR use ALL Tapioca and ditch the starches. :D
Hope that helps! :D
those look SO good!! I will definitely try these! My hubbie would really enjoy them!!
These look amazing! I love PB&J so this would be great.

These look great but I can't do corn. What would be a substitute for the cornstarch???
geeeezzzz.... sorry about that post~ I didn't read the other folks??? So if I use potato starch, that would work?? Or simply use all tapioca??? I'm going to try this one right away!!
Jolanta - I'd go with potato starch if you can. I think the starch adds to the flakiness. It's really like a shortbread crustiness too it. I think the starch really lends a lot to it. You COULD use all tapioca (which i mentioned earlier), but after a little more investigation, i think the all tapioca would make it more doughy and tough rather than light and flaky. Let me know either way! :D
Looks interesting! I bet my girls would love it.
Are you planning to try out any Thanksgiving recipes? I'm going to desperately miss noodles and pumpkin pie this year.
Heather - as we get closer to the holidays I will be doing some adaptations of typical Thanksgiving recipes. I'll be sure to post them! Pumpkin pie would not be so hard, I don't think. I'm working on crusts right now :D
Hi Everyone,
I do PR for Thai Kitchen and Simply Asia and I have seen a lot of people who love our Gluten Free products. Would any of you be willing to give me a little testimonial about how/why you use our gluten free products? I want to create a gluten free resource and let everyone know that we are a great option.
If you are interested you can send me a quick email at catherine@kohnstamm.com
Thank you very much.
Wow - these will be a hit at our house! Pushing the print button right now... : )
