These easy, healthy and delicious Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Bars are flour-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free and made with only a few simple and wholesome ingredients!

I’ve always been fond of using nut & seed butters in baked goods, and these Gluten-Free Flourless Peanut Butter Bars are no exception!

There isn’t any need for flour in gluten-free baking when you have peanut butter (or any nut butter) on hand! It can mimic and even outdo the best of gluten-free flours in terms of both texture and taste.

These Healthy Flourless Peanut Butter Bars are:

• Gluten-free, dairy-free, free of refined sugar.

• Made with just a few simple, healthy ingredients.

• Super easy, one-bowl prep!

• Super moist and chewy.

• High in protein.

• Delicious and will not last long! 🙂

Tips for making Gluten-Free Peanut Bars:

• For best results, use a peanut butter with minimal ingredients. One made with just peanuts & salt is ideal.

• In need of a peanut-free version? Almond butter, pecan butter, pumpkin seed butter and sunflower seed butter are all excellent choices for this recipe.

• I recommend using a very non-stick pan or lining one with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

• Let the bars cool completely after baking for best results. They will firm up significantly as they cool.

• You can store these bars in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

• Are you out of cinnamon? These bars taste great with any warming spices you might would like to add: ginger, cardamom, nutmeg and cloves. And they are simply delicious without any spices added, too!

• You can swap the maple syrup for raw honey, if you prefer.

• You can make a sugar-free version by using a syrup such as this one.
