Gluten Free Peanut Brownies
Who doesn't like chocolate cookies filled with nuttiness?
An interesting piece of feedback on my latest release ‘A Stranger in Featherwood Falls’ was ‘What are Peanut Brownies’. For those of you who have read the book, you will know they feature as a family favourite in the story—so I thought, “Why not share the recipe with you all.” Those of you in the USA will refer to these types of biscuits as “cookies”. They are crunchy, filled with roasted peanuts with a chocolate flavour and are quite delicious! They also keep well in an airtight container (if they’re not eaten first) and can be sprinkled with salt flakes for extra saltiness. Here it is!
