Gluten-Free Brownie As Well As Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake, Two Mixes By Just King Arthur Flour Reviewed
Some time back King Arthur Flour sent me two of their gluten-free chocolate baking mixes to review, but due to oven malfunctions and then summer heat, I did not get to them right away. When I did, I loved them! I am not an affiliate of King Arthur Flour, and I don’t speak for them – I was only given samples to review. I found these mixes to be very good. I definitely want to buy them myself!
The King Arthur Flour webpage about gluten-free FAQs states their mixes are prepared in a dedicated gluten-free facility and are ”…Certified Gluten-Free™ by the non-profit Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO), a program of the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG®). GFCO products are tested to be less than 10ppm (parts per million) gluten. This is stricter than even the FDA requirement of less than 20ppm gluten.” They are also allergen-free (“wheat, nuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, eggs, and dairy”) and are certified kosher.
While the prices of these mixes if I had bought them seem a little high at $6.95 plus shipping, I have to admit that after using them, I found the quality well worth it.
The first one I baked was the Gluten-Free Brownie Mix. The other, their Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake Mix, I’ll describe further below.
Chocolate Brownie – King Arthur Flour Gluten Free Brownie Mix Review
The chocolate flavor is rich, without being overpowered by odd tastes that sometimes go with gluten-free flours. The texture was dense but still a little crumbly, like fudge brownies are supposed to be. They could be cut and removed from the pan without falling apart. As their webpage says they’ve worked hard so their brownies “stay fresh longer than brownies from other mixes,” the next day I was glad to see they still had good texture and had not degenerated into chocolate pudding in the brownie pan like some recipes I’ve baked. I was able to freeze a few of these, too, and the texture was still good after thawing — not quite as good as fresh-baked, but still good.
Easy to put together:
As you can see, the ingredients were simple: the mix, butter
