I converted these blondies to be gluten-free so that my family could enjoy a comforting dessert. We were really craving brownies one night, and this cakelike treat hit the spot! âBecky Klope, Loudonville, New York Ingredients:

1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup sugar |

1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon xanthan gum |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
1/4 cup salted peanuts, chopped |
