Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar (I used raw sugar)
½ cup margarine, Spectrum organic shortening, or butter
½ cup creamy peanut butter
1 large egg
2 tsp. vanilla
½ cup sorghum flour
½ cup brown rice flour
⅓ cup potato starch
½ tsp. xanthan gum
¾ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. baking powder
Dash of salt
½-1 cup strawberry jam (or raspberry, or your favorite)
Gluten-free non-stick cooking spray

*To make these with gluten, omit the sorghum flour, brown rice flour, potato starch, and xanthan gum and use wheat flour instead.
**Instead of jam, you can also use creamed honey or nutella for these with equally enticing results.
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º F. Spray a glass 8" x 8" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

In a bowl, cream the margarine and sugars together. Add the peanut butter and mix well. Add the egg and vanilla and continue to beat until smooth.

In a separate small bowl, combine the sorghum flour, brown rice flour, and potato starch with the xanthan gum, baking soda, baking powder, and dash of salt. Add little by little to the wet mixture, stirring very well to combine. Batter should be light and fluffy.

Place spoonfuls of the batter into the bottom of the baking dish, then using a spoon or spatula, spread them so they cover the entire pan. Spread your toppings evenly onto the base in whatever proportions you prefer (if you use nutella, be sure to pile it on so the chocolate flavor will come out!), and then drop the remaining batter on top, once again in spoonfuls to ensure even coverage. Use the spatula again to spread the batter evenly over the toppings. Place in the oven and bake for 30 - 40 minutes, or until the dough is firmly set and slightly browned. Be careful not to overcook! The edges should be a lovely brown. Remove from oven and let cool for as long as you can before devouring them.
