Gluten intolerance brings fun challenges in both the culinary and financial realms of my home. I have been gf (gluten free) since December 2006. During my third pregnancy, my body started having big problems. It became obvious that the celiac disease that plagued other members of my family was going to cause problems for me too.Ok, so it's really not as bad as I make that sound. It's totally treatable by diet. (And I can still have chocolate and coffee!) I have been so grateful for a solution to my digestive problems. If you are interested in more information here is a great website.
There are so many resources out there. I truly feel blessed to live in the age of the internet and health food stores! I have learned to LOVE cooking gluten free. I have accepted the challenge of solving the mysteries of cooking without wheat, rye, barley, and unspecified oats. It's so fun to feel great and eat amazing food! It does cost more to cook gf (because of all the special ingredients), but eating at home is still cheaper than going out to eat.
This morning I wanted to serve my family chocolate muffins. A fall morning is so fun with fresh baked goodies. They turned out to be wonderful.
So, drumroll please...Today I present:
Julia's Simple Gluten Free Brownie Mix Muffins
1 Bag Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Brownie Mix
2 eggs
1 c milk
1 T gf sour cream
1/4 c butter
2 T oil
1 tsp baking soda
1 c gf chocolate chips
Dump and mix all ingredients. Pour batter into muffin pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes. Enjoy!

Julia, you are an incredible writer! I don't know that I will be making gluten free brownie muffins...I think I like my gluten but anyway, I am impressed with your eloquence, will you be authoring any books soon?
What are "unspecified oats". Dr. Kelly Brogan used this term, but I don't know what it means. Thanks for any help you can give.
To my knowledge, oats are safe when they say "gluten-free" on the label. This means they have been tested for traces of gluten. Many grains are processed in the same facilities as oats. Particles of gluten can be in oats due to the processing of other grains. If they are specified "gluten-free," they are safe for celiac's. Hope this helps! Thanks for reading, Anne!
