Raspberry Cream Cheese Brownies- gluten free, vegan & top 8 allergen free















Brownies, brownies, brownies!  yum!
Raspberry Cream Cheese Brownies....double yum!!

This brownie recipe is simply delicious.
I don't think it needs much explanation, other than you won't be disappointed.
Let me be clear though, the original recipe for the brownies is not my own.  When you find a recipe that is just perfect the way it is and fits your allergy restrictions, there is no need to mess around with it.  I tried many brownie recipes when I first started cooking Allergy Free for my daughter........ so many years ago. Let me just say this recipe was the first to turn out like it says it would and tasted even better.  All I have done is expanded on it.  The recipe comes from a blog called The Sensitive Pantry, which I believe is no longer posting, but if you get a chance check it out, it will inspire you to no end.

If you aren't crazy about raspberries, just substitute your favorite fruit with a complimenting compote.  I can't wait to try blueberries and cherries next!

I like to pre-prep my ingredients before blending them together.






Just use a skewer or knife and swirl through the layers.
