Best Gluten Free Dessert Recipe


Asianmom

Recommended Posts

Asianmom Newbie

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.

      Nuts and cheese are not particularly high in tyrosine compared to many common foods most people eat nearly every day, particularly most meats and fish. I doubt that is the issue in and of itself, though nuts and cheese (particularly aged cheeses) can be a trigger for some migraine suffers for whatever reason. https://www.myfooddata.com/articles/high-tyrosine-foods.php

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
