Hey all you Gluten-Free friends! This post is for YOU today.
Yes, that’s right. I made Mud Hen Bars and they’re totally gluten-free!
Sometimes I feel really sorry for people with food allergies. I mean, how hard must it be to go through life and not be able to eat something? (Especially if they were able to eat it at one point and then developed an allergy later in life.)
One of Jordan’s friends has a dairy-allergy. She copes with it just fine, but it’s still gotta be hard to go to parties and school functions and, well, anywhere and have to know you can’t eat half (or more) of what’s served. Luckily for her, making recipes dairy-free is pretty easy. Whenever she comes over I make sure to have peanut butter cookies or sugar cookies or brownie bites on hand that she can enjoy.
But gluten? Now that’s an allergy that’s hard to adapt for. Gluten is in…pretty much everything. And flour is not something you can just leave out, and it’s not easy to substitute something in it’s place. Chocolate chip cookies are probably one of the hardest things to make gluten-free and GOOD, you know?
Until now!
Do you all remember my Chocolate Chip Cookie Mud Hen bars from a few months ago? Those were super fabulous and amazing. Actually, all mud hen bars are amazing. I fell in love with them a few years ago when I made Brownie Mud Hen bars, and I never looked back.
Well, I’ve managed to turn my Chocolate Chip Mud Hen Bars into a gluten-free person’s dream. Because now you can eat them!
It’s all done with a little help from Pillsbury. They now make Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, did you know that?
I slapped my mud hen (aka brown sugar meringue) topping on their gluten-free cookie dough and BOOM. A gluten-free chocolate chip mud hen bar was born.
You’re welcome.
You want the recipe, right? Well, head on over to Pillsbury to get it!

Look at you, Dorothy, thinking of all those poor people who are allergic to gluten. There was one point, ok several points, in my life when my Drs were concerned that I had Celiacs…and I was just, like, I can’t and don’t because that would ruin my life. Ruin it. Do you want to be responsible for ruining my life? {Yes, I was one of *those* teenagers..} But I probably would have been much less abrasive if I had seen these all those years ago, because if you can make delicious gluten-free mud hen bars, then maybe life wouldn’t be so bad after all.. 😉
You are so kind Dorothy! I know exactly what you mean about the allergies, my close friend has a wheat allergy so baking for her can be quite difficult sometimes – it’s a good job I like chemistry! These bars sound delightful, pinned!
I have ALWAYS wanted to make mud hen bars! I’ve seen many versions & variations but now seeing yours, it’s a reminder of a baking project and recipe I need to tackle, asap! 🙂
I’ve never heard of a mud hen bar before! Can’t wait to try this version and your other ones! Sounds delicious!
Awe, you are the sweetest! Making sure everyone gets their sugar fix!Love these bars and headed to check them out now. 🙂
