‍‍Cakes and chocolate chip cookies are terrific. But, nothing can replace a dark chocolatey, gooey, sweet brownie. Trust me. I've looked.

‍In the world of gluten free baking, brownies are one of my favorites! Why?! Because, they don't require a lot of flour. You can make an entire pan of brownies with as little as 1/2 a cup of flour. That's it!

For me, it's a balance between creating an enjoyable dessert and finding ways to take away at least a bit of the bad stuff. Traditional brownie recipes can we made with multiple cups of sugar, which still blows my mind! No wonder they're so good! Luckily, we can create these sweet treats with much less and not feel like we're missing out.

Plus, I added some cream cheese and peanut butter for even more flavor!

Happy snacking!

Gluten Free Baking Tips

• Use a blend of flours for the best flavor and texture. 
• GF flours can have a bit of a unique taste. White rice, tapioca, and cassava are fairly neutral. Oat flour is terrific, but can be more dense than others. Be ready to experiment to find your favorites.
• Sometimes gluten free batter tastes different than the final baked product. Give it a chance.
• If you're not ready to experiment, most prepackaged gluten free flour blends will work well.
