I Used My New Better Batter! Yum

[Jenny (AZ via TX)]

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! 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.
