For the Peanut Butter Swirl

  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8x2-inch pan with foil. Lightly grease the foil with nonstick cooking spray. 

  2. Whisk together gluten-free flour blend, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Add the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. Batter will be thick.

  5. Bake until set, about 30 minutes. Allow brownies to cool in the pan and then cut into squares.
