Mixes From The Heartland Sweet Potato Brownies

November 22, 2009 By FabGrandma

When I got this mix in the mail, I was thinking, ewwwwwhhh! Sweet potatoes in brownies? But now, I am convinced this is one of mankind’s better discoveries, right up there with fire and electricity.

I followed package directions, which were to put the mix, 2 eggs and 1/2 cup butter in a bowl, blend well, pour into a greased 9 X 9 pan, and bake at 325 degrees for 35-30 minutes.

The batter is very thick, so be sure to spread it evenly in the pan.

The brownies come out moist and slightly chewy, and taste more like the blonde brownies I used to make when I still ate the evil wheat than sweet potatoes. They have a sort of butterscotchy flavor, which I love! It was very hard not to eat the whole pan in one day. But I did not, I made them last for 4 days. FabGrandpa liked them, too. His only negative comment was “I thought brownies were supposed to be chocolate.”

I took the photo above on day two–the brownies were still moist, did not crumble, or fall apart. I could actually eat it with that fork you see there. And the one I had tonight, the last one, was still pretty good after four days. If you want to try them for yourself, a package of the mix costs $6.99 and can be ordered at Mixes From The Heartland.

Ingredients: Brown and white rice flour (organic), (Non GMO) corn starch, tapioca flour, sugar, xanthan gum, cinnamon, freeze dried sweet potato, natural vanilla powder (Non GMO corn starch, vanilla beans).

Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownie Mix

August 16, 2009 By FabGrandma

A few weeks ago I found the Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownie Mix in a grocery store in Kanab, Utah–a very small town in the remote southwest of the state, 85 miles from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It just happens that the owner of that store is a celiac, and stocks lots of gluten free goodness.

Tonight was the night for me to give them a try. My sister sent me a new mixing bowl, and I thought they would be a good first effort using my new bowl. All I can say is, OMG!!! These are soooooo good! They are chocolatey, gooey, fudgy and just plain old yummy! They don’t “taste” or “feel” gluten free. Those of you have to eat a gluten free diet know just exactly what I mean.

Moist and chewy gluten free brownies

The side of the box says:

“Why go gluten free? Not long ago, two of our co-workers found themselves in the gluten free world. Linc was diagnosed with Celiac disease, and Colleen’s family switched to the diet for her son’s well-being.

Their experiences opened our eyes to the challenges families face following the diet. It’s hard to be different, especially when it affects sweet moments with friends and family. No one wants to miss sharing a birthday cake or see their child have to turn down a homemade cookie from a buddy after a game.

We hope we can help by bringing you these mixes for gluten free desserts that look and taste like the treats you’ve been longing to share. Finally, Betty Crocker Gluten Free!”

The ingredients: Sugar, Semi-sweet chocolate chips (Sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, soy lecithin, vanilla), Cocoa processed with alkali, Rice Flour, Potato Starch, Corn Starch, Xanthan Gum, Salt. Contains Soy Ingredients.

The box also states it is made in a gluten free processing facility.

The mix is very easy to make–just add a 1/2 stick of melted butter and 2 eggs, stir, spread in an 8 X 8 greased baking pan, bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. The mix I bought cost $3.89, which is not too bad for a gluten free mix. My husband and both loved them, and we will be making them again.

Betty Crocker also makes Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix, Gluten Free Devil’s Food Cake Mix, and Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix. I may have to buy them all now.
