how can I make the red velvet brownies gluten free?
oh Candy, I’ll have to research. I haven’t explored gluten free baking very much. Let me see what I can come up with!
Ok, I found this great article for you on converting recipes to gluten free, also, a friend recommended Jules Gluten Free flour as a good flour to sub with. I plan to try this as well since I’ve only made pancakes and a couple pasta dishes gluten-free. I hope this helps.
