HELP! We are going to our son's end of the year picnic for school and with our last name we are supposed to bring dessert! I LOVE cooking, but am not so great at desserts! Please share your best gluten-free recipe for dessert. I know I can make some pretty basic cookies...chocolate chip, peanut butter, and I can make a mean box mix of cupcakes with icing and brownies...but what else is there that would be kid friendly! Any cookie recipes to share! I would like to bring something that no one can tell is gluten-free!

THANKS!

The cookbook "The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Gluten Free" has some good stuff in it. My family has happily gobbled up everything I've tried so far and I am the only gluten free one. The Holy Cow Cake would be a great one for a picnic.

I love the Gluten Free Pantry Chocolate Truffle Brownie mix. It makes perfect brownies. Better than any I ever had eating gluten.

I know those aren't from scratch but they're pretty failproof.

If you can get your hands on a box of chocolate chex, these are a great hit:

Note that chocolate chex are NOT peanut free.

Also chex muddy buddies are big around here with ALL the kids (once again, NOT peanut free):

Yes the gluten free pantry brownie mix is my favorite brownie mix of any I have tried! I thought about those...will research the other recipe. I forgot all about chex mixes...may have to watch those as there are a lot of nut allergies at this school.

Keep them coming!!!

THANKS!!!!

How about things that are "normal" and also happen to be gluten free like: ice cream, pudding, jello, fruit salad, chocolate dipped strawberries, etc. Dessert doesn't have to mean a baked good :)

I make quite a few desserts, but my kids and their friends' favorites are always chocolate chip cookies and brownies. For fun I mix different kinds of chocolate chips -- semi-sweet chunks, minis, milk chocolate and white chocolate -- (and plenty of them) all in the same batch of cookies, and put a plain M&M on top of each one before baking.

Brownies are extra good with a thin layer of chocolate frosting and some Heath pieces (you can buy these in the baking aisle next to the chocolate chips).

You can also make Cocoa Pebbles marshmallow treats - fruity or chocolate. These are pretty sticky, so I usually dust the chocolate ones with a little cocoa. Recipe is on the box - just the cereal, marshmallows and butter/margarine.

Chex muddy buddys were my favorite as a kid! Perhaps you could make them with sun butter (sunflower seeds) if peanuts are out.

Betty Crocker has plenty of gluten-free recipes on their website with their mixes or gluten-free Bisquick.

The Grasshopper Brownies are very good.

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      I think you may be correct. The way the results are printed makes it appear as though it’s the ttg iga but I think you’re right—the 646 is total iga. So this would be indicative of another issue (another autoimmune condition, infection, cancer, etc.) and my doctor would need to do further testing. Thank you for saying this!

      Are you sure that is the TTG IgA? Based on the units (mg/dL) and having an upper limit to the normal range, it looks like a total IgA result.

      Vegetarians and vegans with celiac disease

      I am wondering if there are any vegetarians or vegans on this forum. I’ve been vegan for 15+ years and am just finding out I likely have celiac disease (blood panel done, need biopsy). My favorite foods—outside of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds—I will likely have to give up. Anyone else?

      Fiber Supplement

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their...

      Fiber Supplement

      I was taking Benefiber for my IBS-C before my celiac diagnosis. It does say Gluten Free but lists Wheat Dextrin on the label. I really dont like psyllium fiber, so is there anything else I can take or is the Benefiber really ok for someone with Celiac disease? Thanks!!!

This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their level of sensitivity to minor amounts of gluten. That's the long and nuanced answer. The short answer is that it is a product derived from wheat and so you can be certain it will contain some residual amounts of gluten. No gluten removal process is 100% effective. So, to be absolutely certain, stay away from it. Have you tried chia seeds? Very high in fiber and quickly turns into a gel when added to water. Make sure you get seeds that are gluten free if you decide to try it.
