I just tried the gluten free pantry chocolate truffle brownie mix and it was really good. It is gluten-free and Dairy free, you just add eggs, tasted just like real brownies. Can I expect the same from all GLuten Free pantry items?

This is my families favorite. I just bought their pie crust mix, but have not tried it yet. But these brownies are awesome. Our friends' also love them. I take them when I go to a potluck.

Those brownies are so good. I love making them for dessert when we have people over the house cause I can eat them too!!! They love it.

I thought these were absolutely fantastic. BUT there was an issue with them that we had to stop getting them, and it was the potential for cross contamination with nuts!!!

--------------EMAIL RECIEVED FROM COMPANY--------

Thank you for contacting us.

I am sorry that I cannot recommend our products as there is a slight chance of cross contamination. We do use tree nut products on the same line and I cannot guarentee that our raw ingredients are 100% free of peanuts and tre nuts.

SO, I'll put a plug in for the "Ooey Gooey Chocolatey Chewy" brownies from The Cravings Place We like them more cake-like so we use soymilk instead of water!

I just made these last week and was going to post about how yummy they are. THey taste just like the real thing. They do get dry faster then a normal browny, but I made them last Thursday and I am still eating the crumbs.

I've tried a bunch of the gluten free pantry stuff - the brownies are amazing, the pie crust is great but a little crumbly, but who cares? The ginger spice cake is awesome, I added shredded carrots, and walnuts and frosted it with cream cheese frosting. I also made chocolate chip muffins with the muffin mix and they were awesome too! Its a great line of products!!!

I am glad that everyone seems to like their products! I am excited now about trying them all! Does anyone have any issues with cc with these products? (gluten and casein when it says Gluten-free Casein-free)

I don't know. I tried their bread baking mix and it just didn't work. Brownie Mixes are pretty simple though, a bunch of cocoa and sugar, xanthan gum, leavening and some alternative flour, so i dont think brownies should be the meter for quality. Bobs red mill bronwies are really amazing, too. I think pamela's has one too. anyway.

I love these brownies, not only b/c they are AMAZING but b/c they are what convinced my family that gluten free stuff is edible. Seriously, before i found these, my family absolutely refused to eat anything I ate (by family i mean my parents, and i dont live with them, so its not that big of an issue). My mother would make Spaghetti bolognese and make two different kinds of pasta, etc. We made these brownies at xmas dinner, and everyone devoured them- no one touched the expensive, gourmet decadent chocolate hazelnut torte b/c the gluten-free brownies were so damn good! Since that experience, my family has been so much more willing to try gluten-free products.

No issue of cc for me, but i havent had them since that time so i may not be the best judge :)

I love their bread mix, but haven't tried doing it by hand. I do it in a bread machine and I make a few changes. I warm my eggs for 20 seconds in the microwave once I have already beat them with a fork for a few seconds. Then I also add the yeast pack to the warm water before putting all the liquid ingredients in the bread maker and then pour the dry mix on top. I also scrape the sides with a spatula for a few seconds at the beginning of the cycle. This works great!

Although, sadly, I'm off grains now, I loved their brownie mix, pie crust mix, gingerbread spice cake mix, cornbread mix, cake and cookie mix--really never was dissapointed in anything by them. I tend to be very sensitive, and had no CC issues with their stuff at all.

Here's an idea for you.....when you make these brownies, pour a serious amount of Junior Mints over the brownies right after they come out of the oven and just leave it. They will adhere to your brownies and create the "frosting". I took these to an event a church recently and people were coming up to me to ask for my "recipe". Do not spread the Junior Mints around, just leave them. I call this "Ana's Junior Mint Brownies" after my granddaugher Ana, who has celiac disease, but I love them as much as anyone could.

Hey, I can't have casein either, so I understand where you are coming from, but I've found that they don't actually have casin in them. It specificially says milk and eggs may be present, but I feel safe eating them as they do not actually have milk in the ingrediants. Good luck! (:

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
