Wegmans Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Mix

So anyone who knows me knows I love Wegmans. I am a loyal shopper and appreciate all that they do for people who need to live a gluten free life. I especially love when I get digital coupons for their gluten free items. I am always up for trying new gluten free mixes and items.

One of the coupons recently was $1 off their $3.99 gluten free mixes. The options were: Pancake and Waffle Mix, Honey Cornbread Mix, Cookie Mix, Chocolate Brownie Mix, Biscuit & Scone Mix, Muffin & Quick Bread Mix, Golden Cake Mix and Chocolate Cake Mix.

You can see I chose the Chocolate Cake Mix. Note, I did have a second coupon that I used to get the Pancake and Waffle Mix and I will write that up when I get a chance to prepare it :)

I made the Chocolate Cake as cupcakes this past weekend. I pulled together all the very simple ingredients and started mixing it up as I usually do when I make a mix. Whoops!! If I had actually read the instructions before I started, I would have seen that I was doing it wrong. I am not sure if it affected the end product but I do think I will get the mix again sometime in the future and follow the instructions correctly to see if it is different. I will follow up on it on the blog when I try it again.

The chocolate was very good, not overwhelming. It definitely was not too sweet and it was just a touch dry but I didn't mind that. I wonder if any of these things would be different if I had made it the correct way. Regardless of how I made these cupcakes, I would buy this mix again. I did like it better than the Betty Crocker version, as this was more like traditional cake and seemed further along in the gluten free world. Meaning it seems like lots of testing went into this Wegmans mix to make it as close to what I remember for chocolate cake. Of course it has been over 20 years since I have had gluten filled chocolate cake so perhaps my memory is skewed :)

For $2.99 with a coupon, I definitely recommend this mix. I can't wait to try the others over time and I will write them up as I try them. Enjoy!

Josie’s Best Gluten Free Crepe Mix

The last Josie’s Best mix that I had is The Crepe mix. It was actually the one I wanted to try the most but it is also the one I knew the least about making. 

I thought I followed the directions for cooking the crepes but apparently I didn’t follow something or understand something.

This is not a crepe. 

I will be honest, I got very frustrated with myself and my lack of crepe making skill and I gave up.

I did write to both Josie’s Best and Alexis Gluten Free Adventures for some tips.

Both got back to me with more information including a video of how to make the crepes from Josie.

The video was a huge help but I was still gun shy to go back and try again.

I promise I will make these, I just need a moment.

In no way is my frustration a negative for the mix as it was very easy to make and looked perfect.

I just need patience and more time to learn how to make the crepe. It was all operator error.

Josie’s Best Gluten Free Waffle Mix

It was a Josie’s Best mix weekend. Next up The Waffle mix. Simple instructions, simple ingredients and simply delicious waffles.

Except for some operator error on timing for these waffles they were very yummy and easy to make.

If you do not bake these long enough they are rubbery when you take them out of the maker but they still taste good. Will try again, making sure to cook them at least 10 minutes if not 12 minutes. At least that would be the timing in my waffle iron. But I love the ease of this mix.

Josie’s Best Gluten Free Pancake Mix

Next up from my variety pack purchase of Josie’s Best mixes is The Pancake mix.

I have a love/hate relationship with making pancakes. I usually HATE making them. There are various reasons for this but mostly the mixes I’ve tried have caused me problems. Too thick or too thin or too lumpy or too watery. Well, we have a Goldilocks winner here. This mix was juuuuust right. I mean it.

I followed the one cup directions perfectly, including the optional vanilla. It stated if you let it sit, it would get thicker ... and it really did. I feel this is the first time ever that the directions matched what I saw as the completed product.

Aren’t they beautiful. Too bad you can’t taste or smell them through the internet. Soooo good. 

I even added blueberries to the second half. 

I can’t recommend this mix enough. Simple, easy, tasty, what more could I ask for.

Thank you Josie’s Best for my Goldilocks pancake mix. Juuuust right!

Josie’s Best Gluten Free Muffins and More Mix - Dutch Baby

Again Alexis Gluten Free Adventures has posted many times about these mixes and in particular making a Dutch Baby or German Pancake. I have never heard of it before but it looked yummy and didn’t look hard to make. So I ordered the variety pack of Josie’s mixes and then made a Dutch Baby.

There is also a waffle mix, pancake mix and crepe mix.

As I use them I will post about them.

I decided to add blueberries to half of the mix as I had some to use up and I was also curious how it would taste.

It was fun to watch this bake.

Ooooo look at it all puffy!

It stayed that way for a little it once it was out.

Look how pretty.

And it was very tasty too. A little more moist than I though it would be.

It really reminded me of funnel cake minus the funneling :)

The recipe calls for powdered sugar and lemon. We had the sugar but no lemon... well not really.

The blueberries were ok in it. I much more enjoyed that we put Blueberry Lemon jam on it that we just happened to have in the pantry.

There is something about the lemon that really made the flavor different and more enjoyable.

I would make it again but I am not sure it will become a regular item.

The mix, though, was easy to use and the recipe was easy to follow.

I do highly recommend these mixes as they are minimal ingredients and allergens.

She is great to follow on Instagram as she interacts well and offers advice on options for the recipes.

King Arthur Gluten Free All Purpose Flour

Hands down the best pancakes come from this flour.

Just follow the instructions on the back - making the changes from waffles to pancakes that they mention (I do not do the vanilla) - and have the best gluten free pancakes yet!

Bisquick was my favorite previously but King Arthur slayed them ;)

They are fluffy, thick, sooo tasty (even without the vanilla - I am sure it is the sugar) and quick and easy to make. I usually fight with my pancake mixes and making them but these were so easy and it make 10 pancakes without an issue. Seriously yummy!

Cup 4 Cup Chocolate Brownie Mix

Where to start?

First thank you to my friend for recommending this mix to me.

Second if I were served these without being told they were gluten free, I would never know AND I would guarantee the server that they were gluten filled.

Third exactly how I remember brownies pre-gluten free life.

Last worth every penny! EVERY PENNY!

Simple and easy to make. I used butter and not the oil in the mix but I did oil the pan.

The worst part....

Waiting for them to cool before cutting and eating them!!!!!

Run now and get these!! Enjoy!!
