I just want everyone to know (new to gluten free and been having a hard time coping, so maybe you all know this) but I bought the Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownies, at first they seemed REALLY thick...but YUM!!!! They taste just like the brownies I have always made. I take comfort in knowing at least when I crave brownies, I will be able to get my fix :) Have a good day everyone!!

Yep, I agree! (And I'm extremely picky.) Those are the BEST brownies--I can't tell that they're gluten-free. My husband and kids love them, too. And their chocolate chip cookie mix is really good--not too crumbly and not too cakey. Hooray for Betty Crocker!!! Now, if I could only find a GOOD gluten-free yellow cake mix.

There are alot of ways to do brownies. I love Trader Joes and Bob's mixes, can't do betty crocker because of the soy. The hands down favorite are my peanut butter swirl brownies. I use a mix of canola oil and palm shortening in the place of butter or vegetable oil.

Peanut Butter Swirl

1 cup(s) creamy peanut butter (I have been known to use more than a cup)

1/3 cup(s) sugar

4 tablespoon(s) butter or margarine ( I mix palm shortening and canola oil)

2 tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour ( I use Bob's all purpose baking mix, about 1 1/2 teaspoons with just a little bit of zantham gum) I know I stink at actual measurements

1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract

1 large egg

I mix this all together well :)

I plop glbs of the peanut butter mixture on top of the brownie mix and push it down into the pan and swirl it a bit so that there's less seperation when you've baked it. Still some of the peanut butter mix will seperate but its still awesome. This is more of a fork brownie than a grab and bite brownie.

more things to add to brownie mixes-

comstock cherry pie filling- great blackforest brownies,I want to find a good DF gluten-free fudge top top these with.

marshmallows, pecans, and caramel (smuckers or homemade) made great rocky road brownies

more when I have time to post...enjoy. I'm making 2 huge batches and freezing today.

I've always made The Barefoot Contessa's Outrageous Brownies... you can find the recipe at Food TV. The recipe makes TONS and they're super chocolate-y and rich. There's so little flour in them (1 cup I think) that my gluten-free blend (Analise Robert's) works really well!

The Betty Crocker yellow cake is good, too. I used it to make a pineapple upsidedown cake and it was great.

Just cover the bottom of the pan with a paste of dark brown sugar and melted butter. Cover that with crushed pineapple. Bake as the box directs. When done, invert on serving plate.

I can find the white cake, the cookies, and the brownies pretty much everywhere around me - but I have NEVER seen the Devil's Food. Looks like I have a mission after Thanksgiving!!

I'm sure this is because here in WI we have all the Devil's Food and none of the White cake!

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
