Ingredients
- Bob’s Red Mill Organic Brown Rice Flour, 24-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4)
– my default flour. Amazon carries it for about $10, and since I have it on regular subscription, I get 15% off that. As gluten free flour goes, quite cheap.
- The Gluten-Free Pantry Chocolate Truffle Brownie Mix, 16-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)
– best brownie mix, tastes a lot like ghirardelli brownies. Amazon carries this one for about $20, compare with Kmart at $29.
- The Gluten-Free Pantry All-Purpose Flour, 16-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)
– fine ground, no aftertaste. Best of the all purpose flours I’ve tried.
- Chebe Bread – made from yucca flour. It’s a traditional South American bread. You can sometimes find it in places like Wholefoods.
- Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownies – Honestly, these were better than a lot of gluten-full brownies I’ve had. These were dense and fudgey, which is how I like my brownies.
Gluten Free Foods
- Schar Chocolate Hazelnut Bars, 3.7-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 6)
– Amazing cookie. Amazon sells the six pack for about $24, which makes it $4 per pack. Nob Hill, the only other place I’ve found them, sells them at $5 a pack.
- KinniToos Chocolate Sandwich Creme, 8-Ounce Packages (Pack of 6)
– Best oreo substitute.
