Gluten Free Brownies by Betty Crocker



I've written previously about a Gluten Free workshop. There are a lot of new products and I've decided to review the products as I use them.

Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownies are easy to make. I've substituted olive oil for the butter with excellent results. When using a 11" x 7" glass dish to bake the brownies, I found they needed 10-15 minutes extra baking time. In general, most gluten free products seem to take 10 minutes longer to cook than the printed instructions.

The results are a chewy chocolaty brownie. Delicious! No complaints from the kids.
