Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownies

Need a quick dessert to bring to a party or just in the mood for something sweet and chocolatey?  Well, Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownie Mix might be just the right thing for you.  I am going to a party tonight and need to bring a dessert.  Although I prefer to make something from scratch, today is just too busy to do so.  Instead, I picked up a box of the Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownie Mix for only $3.99 and decided to give it a whirl!

The instructions on the back of the box were easy, just add 1/4 cup of butter and 2 eggs.  Combine these ingredients with the mix and voila, your brownies are ready to go.  I mixed mine with an electric mixer for about a minute and then did a quick whip around with the spatula.  I then greased the bottom of my pan.  They say you can either use a 8"x8", 9x9", or 11x7" pan.  I would suggest either the 8x8" or the 9x9" pan because to be honest, it did not look like there was enough mix to spread into the larger one.  The 8x8" cooks for 28-31mins., the 9x9" cooks for 26-30 mins., and the 11x7" cooks for 23-26 mins.  Then cool, and enjoy!

To me, these brownies are a bit sweeter than other gluten free brownie mixes but I do like the convenience factor of this product.  Because so many more of my local grocery stores have begun to carry the Betty Crocker Gluten Free foods, and because you only have to add 2 ingredients, I find this mix to be a nice time saver as well.  These brownies do contain chocolate chips so if you prefer plain brownies then I suggest you try a different brand.  These brownies are chewy and sweet and would also taste fantastic if you added nuts.  I would definitely recommend these brownies as a nice, quick, alternative to making them from scratch.

Did you know that Betty Crocker now has four gluten free items in its line of gluten free foods?  They include Brownies, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Yellow Cake, and Devil's Food Cake!  You can get them at most grocery stores or my favorite place to buy gluten free items for less is through Amazon.  Click here to buy the mixes in bulk from Amazon!
