Enter Betty Crocker's Baker's Challenge Gluten Free Recipe Contest (plus giveaway) #MyBlogSpark

It's no secret that I'm a fan of Betty Crocker's Gluten free mixes.  I love the convenience of having cake mixes and brownie mixes since I'm not that good of a scratch baker.  I actually did wonder why there wasn't a gluten free contest, like the Pillsbury Bake-off and then recently, I found out that Betty Crocker does have a gluten free recipe contest!  Since I am always looking for inspired desserts, I was more than a little excited.  Do you need a little inspiration now?  Check out the gluten free recipes at Glutenfreely.com.

The Glutenfreely.com/Baker's Challenge

What type of recipes are they seeking for the Glutenfreely.com/Baker's Challenge?  Despite the heat of the summer, they're looking for your holiday recipes. It's never too early to plan ahead for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Eating gluten free can sometimes be a challenge around the holidays for sure so the more lead time, the better.  More specifically, they want your holiday recipes using a Betty Crocker gluten free dessert mix or Bisquick's gluten free baking mix.

Gluten free baking/dessert mixes to use in the Baker's Challenge!

Prizes:  What you can win?

One fantastic baker will receive $5,000, plus a gluten free gift basket.  Ten other finalists will receive a gluten free gift basket.  Hurry though:  the contest ends June 30! Finalists will be announced in September, so get your favorite gluten free mix out and start working on your recipe today.
