We had friends for dinner last night and I was looking a quick and easy dessert, yet family friendly too. My old 'go to' would be a box of brownie mix with ice cream. As I began to rummage through the pantry I came upon a bag of brownie mix that I picked up at a Gluten Free Fair this past fall ... here we go, perfect time to to them out. They were AMAZING! It was a mix made by SEVIERly GOOD - http://www.sevierlygoodgf.com/ . I knew from the minute I licked the bowl that these were a keeper! I added a few chocolate chips, made some homemade chocolate buttercream frosting and voila! A super decadent treat that fit my time schedule and my tastebuds! A little note on this product --- after looking at their website I emailed them when I realized how expensive shipping was! WOW! If you are local, their products are carried on a regular basis at Nature's Market in Kent, by Target. I also have a cinnamon roll mix of theirs that I am eager to try!
The second treat I gave a shot at was donuts. Now, I've mentioned before that I make donut holes from scratch using Pamela's Baking Mix. Yet, I was after a 'real' donut - something I could frost and put sprinkles on...something the kids would be excited about! Well, here's what I got:
So here's what I did...I purchased a Bob's Red Mill GF vanilla cake mix and made it as directed on the package. I think you could add lots of different 'add-ins' including some different spices etc... and then I just scooped it into this newly purchased non-stick donut pan http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-6-Count-Nonstick-Donut-Pan/dp/B0002KZSSC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1295724811&sr=8-1 .
The kids were of course thrilled! They are your true 'cake' donuts and frosted well once they were cooled a bit. Everyone enjoyed the chocolate ones a bit more than the glazed ones and be forewarned, don't overfill the pan :) They grow just like a cupcake!
