Gluten Free Peppermint Brownies
Gluten Free Peppermint Brownies are out of this world amazing! They are perfect for the holidays! I love how just a few drops of peppermint essential oil gives them an amazing flavor. I am thinking of adding a little crushed peppermint next time! You can always use peppermint extract if you don’t have essential oil.
This is a great tip for the holidays! You could even frost these if you wanted to and add some crushed up peppermint. I hope you enjoy these Gluten Free Peppermint Brownies as much as we did! I am going to experiment with some other essential oils too! You can also use this tip with a packaged brownie mix.
