Anyway, I have been excited about trying to make a gluten free desert from a mix. My kids love cookies and cookie bars and I could make them with flour since the kids do not have allergies-but it is just easier to cook everyone the same thing isn't it?
I used a mix called Blondies from Namaste Foods-It says the mix is free of Gluten, wheat, soy, nuts, potato, corn, dairy and casein.
I followed the package directions and mixed with eggs, oil and water. (if you make these using egg replacer please post how they came out or I am happy to link to your blog or website or even post your review.)
They dough looked a little strange to me. It looked a little runny and not-well doughy like I expected. I let them sit about ten minutes and the consistency seemed to improve. These were super easy to make and I just put them in the pan and baked them.
They came out of the pan pretty easy and held together in the bars I cut them in. I can't recall having blondies before so this was my first taste of these. If they are missing something I would not know it. Here is the finished product.
My review: I give it a four out of five *. First because they were easy and second because they were darn good. The corner pieces were crispy on the edges like you expect and chewy on the inside. I bet they are so good as a base for ice cream or even making ice cream or rice cream sandwiches. Best of all everyone asked for seconds so it passed the kids and hubby's taste test as well. I am excited to see if my local grocer has other Namaste products to try! I am off to hide the blondies so we do not eat them all.
