I Used My New Better Batter! Yum

I used my Better Batter flour to make Wowzer's pumpkin bars. I used her recipe, I believe it was Paula Dean's. The only change I made was to add chocolate chips. Oh, and I didn't do the icing to save on calories. It came out great! It looked more like a cake and was delicious. I baked it in a glass pan for 35 minutes. Hubby and friend loved it too. I thought the texture would be more like brownies since they were bars.

The next thing I want to make are the banana spice cookies that were posted. They sound so good!

Thanks to all of you who recommended this flour. I love it!

I am glad you liked the results from the Better Batter flour. I have used Tom Sawyer and Better Batter now. I have made cakes,brownies, and pancakes out of both. Better Batter made a better cake which was much ligher and not heavy. The brownies were good made from both, and the pancakes suck made from the Better Batter (I have used various recipes). Overall I think I am going to stick with the Better Batter and keep a 5 lb bag of Tom Sawyer to make pancakes and biscuits out of. For cakes, brownies, bannana bread, etc I like the Better Batter, but it makes a to "cakey" biscuit (I made pot pie out of the baking mix recipe from their site) and did not like pancakes made out of it at all. I am not really interested in mixing my own flours, so having both around will be fine with me. Happy baking!!

I use Pamela's for pancakes. Both hubby and I like it. That's saying a lot since he is really big on whole wheat whole grains. Also, I never really liked pancakes before going gluten-free.

I wonder if I used less egg if the baked good would be less cakey. Hmm. I'll have to try it and see how that works.

Let me know how the banana spice cookies turn out with the better batter flour. I have not made a batch with it yet. I've been trying to cut back on baking so much. My husband keeps telling me we are going to get fatter! :lol: He has liked everything except gluten free pizza crust (can't say I blame him) and the pancakes made from better batter. He loved the chocolate cake I made for my oldest son's birthday. It was so fluffy.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      Natural remedies

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
