Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownie Mix

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 :)

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
