Has anyone tried any of the Betty Crocker Gluten-free mixes? They say on the box that they are made in a gluten-free facility. I have a batch of the brownies in the oven, and I'm eager to try them.

I've made the brownies, yellow cake, and chocolate chip cookies. All were good--I found the cake a tad dry, but really liked the brownies and especially the chocolate chip cookies. I've read here that the cake is better when made into cupcakes.

Enjoy your brownies!

I've tried both cakes and the brownies. I really liked the Devil's Food cake. My cake didn't come out dry at all. Maybe I was lucky.

I've never tried the cookies, but the brownies are to die for. Chocolate cake is great topped with Ancel Coconut (canned coconut that has liquid), yet the yellow cake is very dry. Have not yet found a recipe that I like with the yellow cake. I tried making pineapple upside down cake and carrot cake with yellow cake and was not all that impressed.

I use them all. Love the chocolate chip cookies. I usually mix the dough and let it sit for 10 minutes before cooking it. Seems to be not so dry that way.

Hawaiian Cake:Using the yellow cake I have mixed it with drained canned pineapple, coconut and pecans. Frosted it with whipped cream sprinkled with coconut.

Cherry Surprise: using yellow cake mix have dropped spoons of canned cherry pie filling over the mix before cooking. Then dusted it with powered sugar when cool.

Black Forest Cake. Same as the cherry surprise but with the chocolate cake mix and no powered sugar.

Mississippi Mud Cake: Using the brownie mix I have added coconut and pecans. Then I frosted it with marshmallow fluff as soon as it was taken out of the oven. Once cooled I frosted it with chocolate frosting.

My son made me a gluten-free birthday cake. The creamy white frosting on the devil's food cake was so decadent!! It was the first birthday cake I had had in 4 years! No more missing out for me :lol:

The brownies taste like regular ones. If I didn't know they were gluten-free, I wouldn't have known the difference! Cookies are good too

I've made the cake and the brownies, we always add extra butter because they do run a bit dry. Going to try the cookies soonish :)

My son, who is not Celiac and very picky, really likes the cookies. I under bake them by a minute or two since I don't like them too crunchy. They also seem to store longer than most gluten-free baked goods.

That was definitely the case for me. I thought they tasted like normal brownies, and my roommate also really liked them! I think I will definitely be buying them again, and I'd really like to try the cookies.

My friend pulled a fast one on the guests at my birthday party last week. She used the Betty Crocker gluten-free cake mixes for two cakes, one yellow, one chocolate. The chocolate was actually the brownie mix. ;) For the yellow one, she added some Diet Mountain Dew for a little citrus flavor and put cherries on top. The brownie was just a 2-layer brownie cake. My party was at a swing dancing event with a bunch of different people, and NOBODY knew the difference. They just thought it was normal brownies and cake. The brownie-cake was almost gone by the end of the night. ^_^

I've only tried the brownie mix and added extra mini chocolate chips...very yummy! My non gluten free son and daughter-in-law would never have guessed it was gluten free.

Do you use a whole can of cherry pie filling for these two cakes?

There was also a recipe posted (I think on this forum) adding instant pudding mix and a couple of other things to a cake mix to make it moist (I think the recipe was for cupcakes)

Yes, I used on whole can of filling per cake. Just mix cake mix as directed, once in pan, spoon pie filling over the top. I drop it by spoonfulls so each cut piece of cake will have cherries.

Gosh that sounds so good. I will have to try it.

I found the cakes a bit dry also. Adding a half cup of sour cream to the chocolate helps. I haven't tried it with the yellow.

I think the chocolate chip cookies are good also. I make mine in bars cause I am too lazy to stand by the stove doing multiple pans. I just use a rectangular pan, I think it is 9 by 12 and spread the dough. Let it cool a few minutes but not all the way and cut it into bars.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
