Betty Crocker gluten-free Brownies....

Recommended Posts

....absolutely ROCK! They came out tasting better than any brownie mix I ever made in my non gluten-free days. They were slightly chewy with a nice soft inside, and very chocolately...just the way I like them. 

 

AND, they are made in a dedicated gluten-free facility! Woo hooo!!!

In a taste test among nationally available brownie mixes, gluten and gluten free, it was the winner. I still haven't bought one because it's just too expensive for my taste and I can buy a perfectly delicious mix for half the price or just make brownies with little fuss. But one day if I find it on sale I'll try it.

And as an added bonus, you can rest assured, the Gluten Free Watchdog just tested this product and it was <5ppm.

Glad you finally tried them.  See what you've been missing all this time?  :D  When I made them for the first time I thought....ok....This makes the whole Celiac thing soooooooooo worth it.  :)

This looks dangerous. lol

I read the comments--and I agree about adding some sour cream.

My friend with the G F bakery uses sour cream in all baked goods and it truly makes a difference in the moist factor.

Someone---can you make these--and report back?  ^_^  I am not indulging right now, but I can live vicariously through others.

I shall indulge for you but I need to finish up the blueberry muffins.  There does need to be breaks in between indulgences  :lol:

 

Sour Cream Rocks  :D

Their brownies are the best. I've made them and gluten eaters had no idea they were gluten free. Had a cheese cake with the brownie used as the crust. Their yellow cake mix makes a to die for (adult only) armetto cake. I've also used it to make kind of an apple spice cake and topped it cream cheese frosting. Don't care to much for plain yellow cake ( kind of dry).

Have several potluck events a year so have to get creative for desserts to take.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
