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)

The Live Gluten Freely website has a a lot of recipes that sound good...you can also sign up for their newsletter: Open Original Shared Link

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.

      still struggling with cravings

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.
