Ww Pumpkin Muffins Question


GlutenFreeManna

Recommended Posts

There's a Weight Watcher's recipe for pumpkin muffins that is nothing more than a box a cake mix and can of pumpkin puree. I was wondering if anyone has tried making this using the Betty Crocker Cake mixes? I have some pumpkin puree I need to use up and I was thinking of trying it, but can anyone think of a reason why it wouldn't work? Should I add an egg or some Xanthan Gum to hold the mix together?

I haven't tried it with a gluten-free cake mix, but I think it would be good with the Namaste spice cake!! Here's the recipe from the website:

We made these the other night using Betty Crocker's chocolate cake mix and the pumpkin (1 cup) in place of butter. Mix the rest as the box says. I saw where some had added a cream cheese filling. Tried that too. Major deliciousness!

It made about 14 standard size muffins. Very moist. The filled ones tasted better when they were completely cooled. We had trouble waiting for the cooling!

Thanks! Will try it with just the pumpkin in place of the butter then! Awesome, I love fall foods.

Just to update: I made the gluten-free Betty Crocker yellow cake mix and used pumpkin puree in place of the butter and water. They turned out good, but not very pumpkin tasting. Next time I think I will leave out the vanilla and add some pumpkin pie spice. They were a good cupcake though and at least it cuts the fat/dairy by not using butter.

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars. Something to fill since sometimes I feel like not to eat anything. Especially if on vacation and unsure of cross contamination I figure go with a salad and protein bar to fill and play it safe.

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
