Mini-Gluten Free-Brownies — Stacie Lamoore

A couple of weeks ago Alex and I both wanted some brownies, but we didn’t want the huge leftover pan of them that comes with making brownies. I decided to tweak my favorite gluten free brownie recipe to see if I could make the yield less. I cooked them in ramekins and they turned out fantastic!The yield on this recipe is perfect for two ramekins of brownies. I wanted to be able to put ice cream on top of the brownies so I actually divided it into three. If you don’t want peppermint flavored brownies you can feel free to substitute vanilla extract instead.
