We love both the Gluten Free Pantry and the Betty Crocker. Just be careful not to over bake either one, as I find they harden if cooked too long (just like any brownie). We alot of time add mint extract to the mix, or mint chocolate chips and they taste sooo good. I just found a new recipe online today for mint chocolate chip brownies using the Betty Crocker Mix. We are going to try it for Valentines Day. Here is the link for the new recipe I found today.

Have fun baking!

My vote--hands down The Gluten Free Pantry.

Betty Crocker is also very good but gets stale much faster and is not as chocolatey. The only problem I have with GFP is that the brownie mix is hard to find in my area. It comes in and is sold out very quickly.

Have a Happy Birthday! :D

Have you considered going homemade? WholeFoods has a flourless brownie recipe on their website. It's made w/ black beans. I substitute agave syrup for the sugar. they stay very moist. the 1st batch was a bit "beany" for me, but i tweaked the recipe to personal taste (i added a bit more coco powder) the 2nd time and they were perfect. the 3rd time i made them i used a silicone snow flaked designed muffin tin, cut the cook time by @ 1/2 and they were great. now the only issue is that if i only eat one a day they start to grow mold so i freeze at least 1/2 the batch immediately.

When it comes to mixes, I've had better luck with GFP. That said, I really, really love Karina's brownies at glutenfreegoddess. I've tweaked that thing time and time again. (With fantastic results and no whining from the gluten (and dairy) eaters.)

I just learned how to make flourless chocolate cakes and they are amazing! Much richer than a brownie, but they're homemade and super yummy! I made them in cupcake tins to make "mini cakes," they could easily be substituted for brownies!!

My favorite boxed brownie mix is Gluten Free Pantry, I ordered them off amazon and got a discounted rate for subscribe and save, they're super good because they have little chocolate chips in them. Mmmmm...now you're making me want chocolate! :)

I have to vote for Trader Joes, it is cheaper and it makes awesome brownies that have the thin crust over the tops that cracks when you bite it (that's my favorite part)

I add choco chips and it is even better

gluten-free Pantry gets my vote :D

I really like the Open Original Shared Link. I think it's better than a lot of gluten containing brownies I've eaten.

Put me down for Trader Joe's also! Great moist crunch. I have added cho. chips, dried fruit and or nuts. I also made them for gluten eaters at this years SuperBowl party-know one knew! I made the brownies fancier with pecans inside and topped with a whole pecan (football) and melted chocolate over the top. I also dusted them with powdered sugar-it was a special occasion!!!

I too have to vote for Trader Joe's gluten-free brownie mix. The flavor & texture are amazing, & even my picky, gluten-eating husband loves them! Many of the other mixes have soy, so I haven't tried them. One brand I tried (can't remember which) turned out so hard that I practically needed a chisel to get them out of the pan.

On a side note, Namaste foods makes a Blondies mix that is out of this world! Add some Enjoy Life chocolate chips, & you have a panful of yumminess!

Now I'm craving something sweet.... :D

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
