[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep it simple and buy one of those gluten free brownie mixes at the store. Betty Crocker has one that is perfectly delicious. Several other brands make them, too. You can also go with a gf cake mix as well. If it calls for milk, substitute almond milk. If it calls for butter, substitute 1/3 cup oil for every 1/2 cup butter required.

The soy ice creams are really good. The coconut ice creams are just okay but the coconut flavor can be off putting if you're not a coconut fan. The rice milk ice creams are very disappointing.

If you absolutely have to be a gourmet and cook everything from scratch, you can substitute gluten free flour in a recipe and add some xanthan gum (sold as a powder) to keep the mixture thick. King Arthur has the best gluten free flour (and the best mixes) but others are acceptable. The King Arthur flour also makes great sauces and gravy, even better than regular flour because of the high starch content.[/quote]

I am gluten free.  and have to be gluten free and dairy-free a lot because one of my kids is dairy-free.  And this poster ^ knows what they are talking about!  Betty Crocker gf mixes are really good... substituting almond milk is easy and tastes good ( you can also use Earth Balance to substitute for butter).  King Arthur has the best gf flour mixes.  And I totally agree with the ice cream reports... I am really turned off by coconut.  I used to like it, but it's become such a regular dairy substitute that now i don't like it because it has a strong flavor.

Honestly, I would go with the betty crocker mix!  it's so easy and whenever i make brownies or a cake that is betty crocker GF people are genuinely shocked that it is gf.  [/quote]
