Gluten Free Frostings

I remembered previously someone was looking for gluten-free frosting. All Pillsbury frosting is gluten free except coconut pecan. I have read conflicting things about Duncan Hines. All their CREAMY frosting is gluten free except butter cream and coconut pecan. None of their whipped frosting is gluten-free.

Happy Baking! :)

Thanks for the info on the frostings. They are so much easier than making it from scratch.

Thanks! I didn't think Duncan Hines was gluten free. Good to know.

Are you kidding? :blink: Or maybe you don't have an electric mixer?

If you have an electric mixer (stand mixer is best), it takes all of three minutes and 4 ingredients:

1 stick of unsalted butter (room temperature)

3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted (I often skip the sifting and it's fine)

3-4 tablespoons milk (cream is even yummier!)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

Beat butter by itself 30 seconds til fluffy, add everything, mix on low til sugar is incorporated (1 minute), beat 1 more minute on medium. DONE.

You can add 1 more tablespoon milk if it's too stiff.

For chocolate frosting, decrease sugar to 3 cups, and add 1/2-2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and a pinch of salt.

If you forget to take your butter out of the fridge, you can defrost it in the microwave on the defrost setting for 30-60 seconds.

And homemade TASTES so much better than the cans, which have a very strong rancid shortening odor to my nose and a strong chemical taste to boot.

I wish I could e-mail you some good homemade frosting!!!! :P

Ditto on the homemade frosting tasting so much better then the cans. Besides, with canned frosting, there are no beaters to lick!

Thanks for posting on the frosting. Good info to know. I don't have a mixer, I am not the best baker in the world, but Fiddle-Faddle that recipe you posted sounds very tasty. Thank You!

Dear JennyC,

Thank you so much for posting this! I was wondering if any would be safe! Sometimes I do not have time to make them from scratch, or I am out of bowls. We could not afford to buy all new stuff, so I have a very limited selection of pans right now! I have one mixing bowl, a cookie sheet, a wok, and a saucepan. That is all, aside from a wooden spatula, a wooden spoon, and another wooden spoon (all of which were new and only used for gluten-free cooking.)

Dear Alison,

Thank you for the recipe! I would love to try that soon! I have not had a lot of time for special baking lately. I would love to attempt a french bread! The problem is, I cannot use yeast either. This is going to be tricky.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly.
