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.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After...

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      On the AIP diet, all processed foods are eliminated. This includes gluten-free bread. You'll be eating meats and vegetables, mostly. Meats that are processed, like sausages, sandwich meats, bacons, chicken nuggets, etc., are eliminated as well. Veggies should be fresh, or frozen without other ingredients like sauces or seasonings. Nightshade vegetables...

      Thank you for responding and for prayers. So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine. You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.

      When I accidentally consume gluten it compromises the well-being of my heart and arteries. Last time I had a significant exposure, about six months ago, I had AFib for about ten days. It came on every day around dinner time. After the ten days or so it went away and hasn't come back. My cardiologist offered me a collection of pharmaceuticals at the time...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After having my last baby this year, my body has finally started to find its new rhythm and balance...but things started to feel out of sorts. A lot of symptoms were convoluted with postpartum symptoms, and, to top it all off, my cycle came back about 4m postpartum. I was having reoccurring migraines, nausea, joint pain, numbness in my right arm, hand and fingers, tummy problems, hives. I finally went to my PCP in August just for a wellness check and I brought up my ailments. I'm so thankful for a doctor that listens and is thorough. He ended up running a food allergy panel, an environmental respiratory panel, and a celiac panel. I found out I was allergic to wheat, allergic to about every plant and dust mites, and I did have celiac. I had an endoscopy done on October 3 and my results confirmed celiac in the early stages! I am truly blessed to have an answer to my issues. When I eat gluten, my brain feels like it's on fire and like someone is squeezing it. I can't think straight and I zone out easily. My eyes can't focus. I get a super bad migraine and nausea. I get so tired and irritable and anxious. My body hurts sometimes and my gut gets bloated, gassy, constipated, and ends with bowel movements. All this time I thought I was just having mom brain or feeling the effects of postpartum, sleep deprivation, and the like (which I probably was having and the celiac disease just ramped it up!) I have yet to see a dietician but I've already been eating and shopping gluten-free. My husband and I have been working on turning our kitchen 100% gluten-free (we didn't think this would be so expensive but he assured me that my health is worth all the money in the world). There are still a few things to replace and clean. I'm already getting tired of reading labels. I even replaced some of my personal hygiene care for myself and the kids because they were either made with oats or not labeled gluten-free. I have already started feeling better but have made some mistakes along the way or have gotten contamination thrown into the mix. It's been hard! Today I joked that I got diagnosed at the worst time of the year with all the holidays coming up. I will just need to bring my own food to have and to share. It will be okay but different after years of eating "normally". Today I ordered in person at Chipotle and was trying not to feel self-conscious as the line got long because they were following food-allergy protocols. It's all worth it to be the healthiest version of myself for me and my family. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little overwhelmed and a little overloaded!  I am thankful for this community and I look forward to learning more from you all. I need the help, that's for sure!

      Thank you for responding and for prayers.  So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine.  You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.  I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of.  Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including ridges on fingernails, eczema, hair falling out in patches, dry eyes, upset stomach constantly and other weird symptoms that I don't really remember.  Gastro did tests and endoscopy and verified celiac disease. Re heart: I was born with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and an irregular heartbeat, yet heart was extremely strong.  It was difficult to pick up the irregular heartbeat on the EKG per cardiologist.  I had Covid at 77, recovered in 10 days and 2 weeks later developed long Covid. What the doctors and nurses called the "kickoff to long Covid, was A-fib.  I didn't know what was going on with my heart and had ignored early symptoms as some kind of passing aftereffect stemming from Covid.  I was right about where it came from, but wrong on it being "passing".  I have A-fib as my permanent reminder of Covid and take Flecainide every morning and night and will for the rest of my life to stabilize my heartbeat.
