I was shopping at Whole Foods the other day and was starving. That is a big no-no when you’re shopping in a grocery store. In my search for flour I ran across Arrowhead Mills’ Gluten Free Brownie Mix. It went straight into my cart!
I made it tonight and it is actually more like a cake than a brownie. Both my husband I feel that the texture could be better as it was very grainy. It is made mainly from rice flour. It had a cake texture, not a brownie texture, which is hard to believe since there are so many gluten-free flours that could have made it heavier in weight. It is very spongy.
I do have to give them credit for using organic ingredients, though. It has organic chocolate chips in it, too.
I think I’ll make my own next time. Then I can use a healthy sugar substitute and not the organic evaporated sugar and organic sugar that these brownies contain.
Of course, if you like fluffy chocolate cake this may be something you enjoy, but I like a nice starchy, heavy brownie.
