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.

      @Manaan2, have you considered the possibility that she might be cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose proteins closely resemble gluten. Chief candidates might be dairy (casein), oats (avenin), soy, corn and eggs. One small study showed that 50% of celiacs react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) like they do gluten.

      Gluten withdrawal is temporary, eat well!!

      I realize I'm super late in the game regarding this topic but in case anyone is still reading/commenting on this one-does anyone who is especially sensitive have their personal observations to share regarding Primal Kitchen brand?  My daughter was diagnosed almost 2 years ago with celiac and within 6 months, her follow up labs were normal and a year later vitamin levels significantly improving, but we are still battling GI symptoms; particularly, constipation, so much that she has been on MiraLax every day since she was 3.  We've managed to get her down to a half cap every other day but without that, she continues to have issues (when she has a known, accidental ingestion unfortunately it takes a lot more MiraLax and additional laxatives to help her).  I was searching for something else and found this and am wondering if anyone has any specific comments regarding Primal Kitchen.  I feel like we are so incredibly careful with diet, logging diet and symptoms to look for patterns (we've had multiple dieticians help with this piece as well), not eating out, contacting companies and of course, there is always room for improvement but I'm running out of ideas regarding where her issues could be coming from.  Even if the Primal Kitchen is contributing, I'm sure it's not the only thing contributing but I can't help but think there must be handful of things that are working together and against her.  The ingredients list distilled white vinegar, but also white wine vinegar and balsamic, then "spices" which I'm always cautious about.  However, after contacting the company, I felt more comfortable allowing her to consume their products but over time I've realized that the front-line customer service support people don't always provide the most accurate of information.  Thanks for reading to anyone that does.

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...
