Here Comes Trouble Brownies (Gluten-Free)

Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

This recipe comes to us from Valerie Wells.

Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
(1) Melt 1 stick of butter, 2 squares of unsweetened chocolate plus 1 tablespoon coconut oil or other cooking oil in an 8 square baking pan (I put them in the oven for 4 or 5 five minutes while it preheats and I assemble the other ingredients. Be careful not to over heat it and burn the chocolate).

(2) Add to pan:
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup gluten-free flour (half rice flour/half corn starch)
¼ teaspoon xanthan gum (optional)
2 tablespoons Jell-O Instant pudding mix (I used vanilla flavor)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

(3) Stir until smooth. Bake 27 to 30 minutes at 350F. Cool before frosting.

Frosting: Gently soften ½ bag semi-sweet chocolate chips plus 2 tablespoons butter in the top of a double boiler (or a metal or glass mixing bowl set over boiling water). When thoroughly melted, stir in a few tablespoons of powdered confectioners sugar until smooth. Spread over brownies and sprinkle with chopped nuts while still warm.

Scrumptious! I made these for a party after remembering that the son had just been diagnosed and the other dessert I made was not gluten-free. Everyone loved these and have asked for them again!

Wow! These brownies are the BOMB!! I made these for someone's birthday in my office and the only complaint I have is that it didn't make enough. I ended up having to make another pan (13" x 9") of regular brownies to go along with this recipe which only made an 8" x 8" square pan. But, then we got to do the taste test challenge. These were hands down, WAY better the the full-gluten version. They were so moist and a great consistency. Thanks so much for the recipe. This is now a staple! Next time, I'll just double it to make the full pan.

Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014.

Devil's Food Brownies (Gluten-Free)
I was never a big cake fan, in fact for my birthday I always asked for pie or torte rather than cake. However, brownies are another story. I love eating brownies when they are warm and gooey, right out of the oven. Unfortunately, I haven't had homemade brownies since going, gluten, egg, dairy and refined sugar free. These brownies are gluten-free, and grain-free as well as egg, refined sugar and dairy free. There is even an option to substitute chocolate with carob. Finally, a brownie recipe that I can actually eat!

Gluten-free Irish Cream Brownies
One day, I had a couple of packages of gluten-free brownie mix that needed to be used. I also had a good amount of Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur, and was feeling a bit adventurous. I found a recipe at All Recipes.com for something called Bailey's Irish Cream Brownies. I used my gluten-free mix, and the result was this little bit of gluten-free Irish brownie joy.

  gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine
  
  I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

  Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

  gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine
  
  Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could c...

  This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

  Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating
  
  Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
