What to pair with these red velvet bars:

How about a cold glass of milk or a mellow glass of red wine!

I really like to pair my red velvet cheesecake bar with a second red velvet bar!

Gluten-Free Red Velvet Ingredients:

  • melted butter: salted or unsalted butter is fine to use
  • eggs: This recipe uses large-sized eggs
  • red food coloring:  Isn’t a must for this recipe but gives these treats their fun bright red color!
  • vanilla extract: Yum!
  • granulated sugar:  The white stuff
  • almond flour:  You can find almond flour in the local grocery store in the same aisle as your all-purpose flours and sometimes also in the all-natural/allergen sections of the store too.
  • cocoa powder
  • xanthan gum:  This little secret weapon is a must and helps baked goods that are gluten-free feel as though they are gluten-full!
  • salt:  Just a bit.

Cheesecake Topping:

  • Greek yogurt cream cheese spread:  You can use regular cream cheese if you’d like.  Just make sure that it is gluten-free if you are making the gluten-free version of this recipe!
  • egg:  See comment above.
  • Granulated sugar:  See comment above.
  • vanilla extract:  See comment above.

Cream Cheese Decadence:

I sometimes can’t help but use heavily processed ingredients in my recipes.  I did use greek yogurt cream cheese spread in the No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookie Pumpkin Cheesecake and Gluten-Free Strawberry Basil Margarita Cheesecake Squares recipes too.  Ya caught me!

BUT!

But every once in awhile it’s so fab to have a little piece of decadence.

Just that little indulgence of sweet creamy cheesecake wrapped around a moist and chocolatey red velvet brownie…

all the while it being every bit gluten-free.

Moist and delicious gluten free red velvet cheesecake bars are quick and easy to make, are extremely creamy and decadent, and are perfect when you are in the mood for a little indulgence! There is still plenty of time to whip these up before Valentine's Day y'all!

How to make red velvet bars:

So I am here today to show y’all how to make your own batch of gluten free red velvet cheesecake bars for your own Valentine’s Day treat.
 
Take your first bite and then I’ll leave the decision on whether to share with your significant other up to you!
 
  1. Prep your workspace:  Preheat your oven to 350 and line a 9 x 13 pan with wax paper and lightly grease the paper with cooking spray.  Then set aside.
  2. Mix your base batter ingredients together:  Mix the eggs, food coloring, vanilla, and sugar together in a medium bowl. Add the melted butter and then slowly add in the flour. Mix well. Set aside 1/3 cup of batter.
  3. Pour base batter into pan:  Spread the larger portion of the batter evenly into the bottom of the pan.
  4. Mix together the cream cheese layer:  Mix together cream cheese mix: Soften the cream cheese, then add in the sugar, egg, and vanilla.  Evenly spread the cream cheese mix on top of the batter in the baking pan.
  5. Finish off with your top batter layer:  Drizzle the 1/4 cup of reserved batter on top of the cream cheese mix in multiple spots. Then run a knife through the top of the batter and cream cheese mix in a zigzag pattern until a swirl is seen.
  6. Bake your bars, cut, and serve:  Bake for 25-30 minutes until fully done. Let the pan cool. Remove the wax paper from the pan once cooled and cut into squares or hearts for Valentine’s Day treats!

Gluten free red velvet cheesecake bars tips:

You can definitely leave out the red food coloring if you want.  It just gives the bars a festive Valentine’s Day look and keeps the red velvet part red.  

If you decide to scratch the food coloring, your bars will look more like a brownie with cream cheese swirl.

Moist and delicious gluten free red velvet cheesecake bars are quick and easy to make, are extremely creamy and decadent, and are perfect when you are in the mood for a little indulgence! There is still plenty of time to whip these up before Valentine's Day y'all! 

How to store leftover red velvet bars: 

You can store these tasty little red velvet treats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

You can reheat these bars so that they are nice and warm and soft all over again by placing them on a microwave-safe plate and cooking them on high power in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, depending on how hot you like your brownies!
