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.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
