Betty Crocker® Gluten Free Brownie Mix Review

I love brownies. Their chocolaty goodness and chewy texture get me every time. I just can’t leave them alone.


Now with all this brownie-love going on, you would expect that I might have tried making gluten free brownies from scratch. There are probably some good recipes out there, but have I tried any of them?

No, I have not.

So until recently, my family has been brownie-deprived.

Fortunately, Betty Crocker® has come out with a line of gluten free baking mixes that includes a brownie mix.

Betty Crocker® Gluten Free Brownie Mix makes absolutely delicious brownies! They are rich, chewy, and chocolaty (is that a real word?). They are good brownies, they’re easy to make, and they are gluten free.

    I've been wondering about the Betty Crocker mix. Thanks for the review. It's always nice to hear what other people think before forking over the money for new to me gf foods.

    I really love this mix, too...very fudgy and moist- I have served these to many people who aren't gluten free and they always love them, too!

Homemade Corn Tortillas

Image
My family enjoys having soft tacos for dinner.  The guys have flour tortillas, and Laura and I eat corn tortillas to avoid gluten.  Store bought corn tortillas aren't that great, so I've been making homemade corn tortillas.  At first, I tried making them by hand, which didn't work well at all.  I also tried flattening them with the bottom of a pan, only to discover that the pan was slightly warped (raised in the center).  So I've been rolling each tortilla out with a rolling pin, which works alright but is kind of a slow process. I just purchased a tortilla press, and making those tortillas is so quick and easy! To make corn tortillas, combine 2 cups masa flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/4 cups water.  Mix until the dough holds together, adding a little more flour or water if necessary.  It will feel kind of like Playdoh when it's ready. Next, section the dough into 16 sections, and form each into a ball.  At this stage, I also like to ...

Whole Grain Gluten Free Bread

“Have you tried Udi’s bread?” is the question going around the gluten free community. Udi’s Whole Grain Gluten Free Bread is unbelievably good. It is not just “good for gluten free bread”. It is good bread. It is also sometimes hard to find. I appreciate the convenience of being able to buy good gluten free bread and other pre-prepared gluten free foods. However, with both my daughter and myself avoiding gluten, it’s good to be able to prepare gluten free foods at home as well. This is especially true of bread, since we usually eat breakfast and lunch at home and can go through bread quickly. With the Udi’s Gluten Free bread in mind, I developed a recipe for Gluten Free Whole Grain Bread. It also makes really good sandwich rolls. I wish there was some way to share the delicious fragrance in my house when the bread came out of the oven. The whole house smelled like homemade bread, real bread.   When I worked as a food scientist developing products for the food industr...
