10 Gluten-Free Brownie Mixes, Ranked - Tasting Table

"The 365 Gluten Free Fudge Brownie Mix is part of Whole Foods' in-house brand, known for its organic, budget-friendly products. Priced at $4.29 at my local Whole Foods, this boxed mix was pleasantly affordable and cheaper than familiar brands like Pillsbury and Betty Crocker. The batter was made with oil, water, eggs, and dry mix, but very quickly, I had concerns."

"It was very thick and sticky, which had me worried, and unfortunately, my worst fears came true after it was baked. The texture was gummy, one of my biggest pet peeves with gluten-free baked goods. And the cocoa flavor? Nearly nonexistent. I kept waiting for a hit of rich, chocolaty "fudge," as noted on the box, but it never came. Instead, the brownies tasted flat and underwhelming."
