    Gluten-free Irish Cream Brownies

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    One day, I had a couple of packages of gluten-free brownie mix that needed to be used. I also had a good amount of Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur, and was feeling a bit adventurous. I found a recipe at All Recipes.com for something called Bailey's Irish Cream Brownies. I used my gluten-free mix, and the result was this little bit of gluten-free Irish brownie joy.

    Photo: CC--axmai.Ingredients:

    • 2 (20.5 ounce) packages Open Original Shared Link
    • 1 cup Irish gluten-free cream liqueur (such as Carolans)
    • ¼ cup vegetable oil
    • 2 eggs

    Frosting Ingredients:

    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 5 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur
    • 4 cups powdered sugar

    Directions:
    Heat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

    Butter the bottom and edges of a 9x14-inch jelly roll pan.

    Place fudge brownie mix into a large bowl; beat in 1 cup of Irish cream liqueur, vegetable oil, and eggs until the mixture forms a smooth batter.

    Spread the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan.
    Bake in the preheated oven until the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

    Remove pan from oven and allow to cool completely.

    Add unsalted butter to a large bowl and beat until smooth.

    Add 5 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur and beat until mixture is creamy.

    Slowly beat in confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, until frosting is desired stiffness.

    Make sure brownies are cool, then spread frosting on brownies.

    Original recipe makes one 10 1/2x15 1/2-inch pan.

    I was under the impression that people with celiac disease should not drink Irish cream. Is there a new study that I am not aware of? The brownies do look very good, but I would think that I could not eat them.

    Thanks for this! I knew there was a reason I used Carolans! I will change the recipe to include Carolans or other Irish Creams suitable for celiac diets.

    It's been a few years, but the last time I called Bailey's to ask about their Irish cream they said they could not guarantee it is gluten-free. Might want to check on this before touting this recipe as gluten-free.

    Since it's a distilled beverage, we can assume it is gluten-free and they are merely taking a conservative stance so as to avoid any liability. Distillation removes all gluten - the only way it would contain any would be if they were to add gluten-containing ingredients after distillation. This is the only reason we can't say for certain. The other ingredients are a proprietary blend of spices, and of course cream and sugar - it doesn't sound at all likely that these added ingredients would contain gluten. If you're skeptical, you can try substituting Carolan's. They make a gluten-free claim.

    This recipe comes to us from “Fiddle-Faddle” in the Open Original Shared Link. I was actually trying to make peanut butter cookies, but I was running out of time, so I dumped the batter into a greased 9” x 13” pan and baked them for 25 minutes at 350F, and they were SO GOOD!
    Ingredients:
    And its the same old peanut butter cookie batter we all use:
    2 cups peanut butter
    2 cups sugar
    4 eggs
    2 teaspoons vanilla
    A couple of glugs of molasses (I like the flavor and texture)
    Directions:
    Mix, dump, bake, devour! Theyre particularly good with chocolate frosting, or chocolate chips mixed in the batter, or both.
    Note: I like my brownies chewy, so I might bake for only 20 minutes next time or else lower the temp to 325F (my oven runs hot, anyway).

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Skinesa

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It...

      Feeling ill

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches. Really works well without hurting the digestive tract. Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines. Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Check with your doctor and nutritionist. If you follow the updated...

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      Feeling ill

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity...
