I just made these and they were FANTASTIC!!!! I followed the directions on the package, but I added walnuts and butterscotch chips. I had to bake at least 10 minutes longer than the package said, but oh my gosh they were so good. My entire family LOVED them and no one could tell they were gluten free at all. They were chewy and soft at the same time, and the best part was they didn't dry out sitting on the counter for 1 to 2 days!!(covered with foil) My "regular" brownies used to always dry out on me and were never as good the day after. These stayed the same! I will definitely make these often.

They sound delicious; I'm going to add them in too! Yes, the brownies are definitely great. Fudgy and not at all tasting like they're missing anything. Thanks for the tip.

I substitute coconut oil for the butter in them and we all scarf them down at my house.

How in the world do you even have brownies leftover to "sit on the counter for 1 to 2 days"??? :lol: Around here they never last that long. -- Well, I have a box of this brownie mix but haven't tried it yet. I was waiting till my dh and ds go on their trip next weekend so I wouldn't have to share. ;) (it will just be dd and me, and dd doesn't eat as much as the other two.)

I buy these and make them for school staff meetings or when we have company. Try popping them in the microwave and topping with ice cream.. even my husband loves them. The only downside is that they are expensive. They are 4.29 for the brownies, the cake and the cookies. Just a little too expensive to buy other than for special occasions. Just a question... why do companies charge so much for these products... Probable answer: Because we buy them most likely.

Well, we have found the gluten free things tend to be much more filling! We just have one, and then save the rest for another time :)

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
