Betty Crocker Gluten-Free Brownies (made egg free and butter free too!)
I recently attended the American Dietetic Association’s Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo. I was lucky enough to participate in a gluten-free cake decorating contest sponsored by General Mills and emceed by Keegan Gerhard of the Food Network’s Food Network Challenge. It was a lot of fun but unfortunately I could not participate in eating the Betty Crocker cakes or cupcakes because they contained butter and eggs. When I got home I decided to experiment with the Betty Crocker gluten-free brownie mix to see if I could make a good-tasting egg-free, butter-free, gluten-free brownie.

Nice to have the substitutes for the no bake cookies! As someone with no allergies, lucky me, I have made 1,000 of these for various holiday events - calling them "birds nests" and putting jelly beans the colour of the holiday into the "nest". Next time will try them no dairy or egg! Thanks.

Many at the CSA conference were talking about the no bake oatmeal chocolate cookies as well... nice to have options for those with other allergies.

What a clever idea to add jelly beans. Thanks for sharing!
