Peanut Butter Pie Recipe Gluten Free (A Year of Southern Cooking)

Peanut butter pie, gluten free, low fat

 

Maybe it is because I live in Georgia, the peanut capital of the US, but no cookout, potluck or church dinner would be complete with a peanut butter pie. I actually have a collection of different peanut butter pie recipes and it is one of the recipes people request most often. ย When my daughter had to adapt to a gluten free lifestyle, she still wanted to enjoy one of her favorite desserts. I adapted this version to be low fat and gluten free, but if you want to make it the traditional Southern way, simply substitute regular ingredients instead of low fat and add the mixture to a graham cracker pie crust. ย  I made mini cakes in silicone cupcake holders because they are so rich. These can be stored in the freezer and pulled out when you have a craving for something sweet. ย These were such a hit with the kids and their friends that when one of them said they were full, another kid said, “I’ll take theirs!”
