I want to make a crumb cake this weekend but because the Betty Crocker mixes make a smaller amount than you would normally get from a traditional box mix I am going to make 2 boxes combined into 1 pan. Has anyone done this? I'm wondering what the baking time would be?

I have done this two different times now. The first time I mixed the choc and yellow and poured it into a 9x13 pan. I thought it was a little to thick for me. So next time I poured them into a 1/2 sheet pan and it turned out perfect. It was a little thinner (only about 2 inches instead of 3-4) but it was perfect with caramel frosting. The baking time was about the same for me. I am not sure what your elevation is. Make sure not to cook them too long they will get really dry.

I just wanted to report in that I made these tonight and they were a big hit!!! It was suggested (by hubby) to put the cream cheese mixture in the middle (partially fill muffin tin with batter, add a bit of the cream cheese mix and then finish filling with batter). I will try that next time. I wanted to try it on top this time because that was the way skinnyminny wrote it and sometimes things will naturally sink in. Anyway, thank you for posting. They were great and we will make it again!!!

Also, just for added info, I used 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. I also used regular cream cheese (because that's what I had), about a teaspoon of vanilla and three heaping tablespoons of powdered sugar. I did not melt the cream cheese but let it soften.

Ha exactly what I thought! I had a pumpkin craving and used what I had on hand. I am wondering if you could use the cake mix to make a pumpkin roll. But these are way easier no flipping out of the pan, rolling or messy powder sugar!

OH*MY*GOSH!

This is the best gluten free thing I have tasted- ever. I cant believe it!

They are just like the ones at starbucks... I sprinkled a little gluten free granola on each one and they turned out fantastic!

I do not own muffin pans so I looked at muffin pans today thinking about this pumpkin recipe. I may have to go back tomorrow to buy them. I found extra large muffin pans, only 6 muffins to one pan at a cost of $18 each at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Yep, I'm going to get them just for this recipe. The things we'll do for a good muffin!

Price those pans elsewhere...I bought the extra large 6 cup pan last year at Fred Meyer's and think I paid $6!

Also that size of pan makes great mini pies...I made apple, cherry, berry, cheeseburger, chicken alfredo, chicken and veg, turkey, ham and broccoli with cheese, breakfast style, Italian, taco, cheeseburger, baked bean, BBQ chicken...drop them in a baggie and freeze, heat and eat...my dd loves them.

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By Anmol · Posted

      Thanks this is helpful. Couple of follow -ups- that critical point till it stays silent is age dependent or dependent on continuing to eat gluten. In other words if she is on gluten-free diet can she stay on silent celiac disease forever?    what are the most cost effective yet efficient test to track the inflammation/antibodies and see if gluten-free is working .

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the community forum, @Anmol! There are a number of blood antibody tests that can be administered when diagnosing celiac disease and it is normal that not all of them will be positive. Three out of four that were run for you were positive. It looks pretty conclusive that you have celiac disease. Many physicians will only run the tTG-IGA test so I applaud your doctor for being so thorough. Note, the Immunoglobulin A is not a test for celiac disease per se but a measure of total IGA antibody levels in your blood. If this number is low it can cause false negatives in the individual IGA-based celiac antibody tests. There are many celiacs who are asymptomatic when consuming gluten, at least until damage to the villous lining of the small bowel progresses to a certain critical point. I was one of them. We call them "silent" celiacs".  Unfortunately, being asymptomatic does not equate to no damage being done to the villous lining of the small bowel. No, the fact that your wife is asymptomatic should not be viewed as a license to not practice strict gluten free eating. She is damaging her health by doing so and the continuing high antibody test scores are proof of that. The antibodies are produced by inflammation in the small bowel lining and over time this inflammation destroys the villous lining. Continuing to disregard this will catch up to her. While it may be true that a little gluten does less harm to the villous lining than a lot, why would you even want to tolerate any harm at all to it? Being a "silent" celiac is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing in the sense of being able to endure some cross contamination in social settings without embarrassing repercussions. It's a curse in that it slows down the learning curve of avoiding foods where gluten is not an obvious ingredient, yet still may be doing damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. GliadinX is helpful to many celiacs in avoiding illness from cross contamination when eating out but it is not effective when consuming larger amounts of gluten. It was never intended for that purpose. Eating out is the number one sabotager of gluten free eating. You have no control of how food is prepared and handled in restaurant kitchens.

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Welcome to the forum community, @ekelsay! Yes, your tTG-IGA score is strongly positive for celiac disease. There are other antibody tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease but the tTG-IGA is the most popular with physicians because it combines good sensitivity with good specificity, and it is a relatively inexpensive test to perform. The onset of celiac disease can happen at any stage of life and the size of the score is not necessarily an indicator of the progress of the disease. It is likely that you you experienced onset well before you became aware of symptoms. It often takes 10 years or more to get a diagnosis of celiac disease after the first appearance of symptoms. In my case, the first indicator was mildly elevated liver enzymes that resulted in a rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross at age 37. There was no GI discomfort at that point, at least none that I noticed. Over time, other lab values began to get out of norm, including decreased iron levels. My PCP was at a complete loss to explain any of this. I finally scheduled an appointment with a GI doc because the liver enzymes concerned me and he tested me right away for celiac disease. I was positive and within three months of gluten free eating my liver enzymes were back to normal. That took 13 years since the rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross. And my story is typical. Toward the end of that period I had developed some occasional diarrhea and oily stool but no major GI distress. Many celiacs do not have classic GI symptoms and are "silent" celiacs. There are around 200 symptoms that have been associated with celiac disease and many or most of them do not involve conscious GI distress. Via an autoimmune process, gluten ingestion triggers inflammation in the villous lining of the small bowel which damages it over time and inhibits the ability of this organ to absorb the vitamins and minerals in the food we ingest. So, that explains why those with celiac disease often suffer iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiency related medical issues. The villous lining of the small bowel is where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. So, yes, anemia is one of the classic symptoms of celiac disease. One very important thing you need to be aware of is that your PCP may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the blood antibody testing. So, you must not begin gluten free eating until that is done or at least you know they are going to diagnose you with celiac disease without it. If you start gluten free eating now there will be healing in the villous lining that will begin to take place which may compromise the results of the biopsy.

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By Anmol · Posted

      Hello all- my wife was recently diagnosed with Celiac below are her blood results. We are still absorbing this.  I wanted to seek clarity on few things:  1. Her symptoms aren't extreme. She was asked to go on gluten free diet a couple years ago but she did not completely cut off gluten. Partly because she wasn't seeing extreme symptoms. Only bloating and mild diarrhea after a meal full of gluten.  Does this mean that she is asymptomatic but enormous harm is done with every gram of gluten.? in other words is amount gluten directly correlated with harm on the intestines? or few mg of gluten can be really harmful to the villi  2. Why is she asymptomatic?  3. Is Gliadin X safe to take and effective for Cross -contamination or while going out to eat?  4. Since she is asymptomatic, can we sometimes indulge in a gluten diet? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deamidated Gliadin, IgG - 64 (0-19) units tTG IgA -  >100 (0-3) U/ml tTG IgG - 4   (0-5) Why is this in normal range? Endomysial Antibody - Positive  Immunoglobulin A - 352 (87-352) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for help in advance, really appreciate!
