Gluten-Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies Recipe

Gluten free brownies are easy to make, and one of the least likely to fail gluten free recipes, since flour is not as essential an ingredient.  These Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies are quite yummy.  They went over well with Lil’ Foodie, as well as, everyone else. We are now two weeks into her gluten and casein free diet.  I do feel a little like a scullery maid washing all the pots and pans from making pretty much everything from scratch, but she seems to be enjoying having a personal food slave chef to cook up her every whim.  Well, I am off to go figure out how to make her highness some “ice cream” from the almond milk I have in the fridge, she just gave me a card requesting some.   Hmmm…. tune into tomorrow to see how that works out.

This gluten-free brownies recipe is one I will need to make again soon.
