1 piece (medium) of Gluten-free brownie (60 g) has 246 calories. That works out to 410 calories per 100 g. It contains 32.4 g of carbs, 3.1 g of protein, 11.4 g of fat and 2.1 g of fiber. Its 0.1 mg of Copper covers 12% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 45 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
A gluten-free brownie is a version of the dense, chocolate-rich American bake made without wheat flour. Recipes vary: they may use a gluten-free flour blend, starch or ground nuts alongside chocolate or cocoa, sugar, fat and eggs.
It is typically fudgy and moist inside, with a slightly crisp or cracked top. In the United States it is often served as a casual dessert or snack, plain or warmed with ice cream; elsewhere, a small square also goes well with coffee or tea. It is rich in carbohydrates and fat, with comparatively little protein, so it makes a filling treat rather than an everyday staple. For a lighter serving, keep the piece modest and add fresh fruit.

Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Yes, gluten-free brownies can be suitable for people with celiac disease if they are protected from cross-contact with wheat, barley, or rye. Bakery brownies may be handled on shared surfaces, so ask how they are prepared rather than relying on the name alone.
Use a recipe with plenty of chocolate and fat, and avoid overmixing the batter. Take the gluten-free brownies out while the centre is still slightly soft; they will continue to set as they cool, keeping the texture fudgy rather than cakey.
Gluten-free brownies can crumble when the batter has too little binding, the flour blend is too dry, or the brownies are cut while warm. Let them cool fully before slicing, and use a recipe formulated for the specific gluten-free flour blend.
Yes, almond flour works in gluten-free brownies, but it makes them richer and denser than many starch-based flour blends. Use a recipe designed for almond flour; swapping it cup-for-cup into another recipe can change how the brownies hold together.
Yes, gluten-free brownies can be made without xanthan gum, especially when eggs and chocolate help bind the batter. Choose a recipe that leaves it out; simply removing xanthan gum from a recipe that relies on it may make the brownies fragile.
Yes, some gluten-free brownie recipes use cocoa powder instead of melted chocolate, but the ingredients are not interchangeable in equal amounts. Melted chocolate also contributes fat and sugar, so choose a cocoa-based recipe rather than making a direct swap.
Yes, boxed mixes can make gluten-free brownies conveniently. Follow the mix’s directions for added ingredients and baking, and if the brownies are for someone with celiac disease, check that preparation will avoid contact with gluten-containing foods.
Gluten-free brownies are ready when the edges look set and a tester inserted near the centre comes out with moist crumbs rather than wet batter. Do not wait for the tester to be completely clean, or the brownies may turn dry.
Yes, gluten-free brownies can also be made dairy-free by using a suitable plant-based fat and dairy-free chocolate. Check every ingredient in the recipe, since some chocolate and brownie mixes contain milk even when they contain no gluten.
Let gluten-free brownies cool completely, then keep them in an airtight container so they do not dry out. If you refrigerate them, bring a portion to room temperature before serving for a softer, fudgier texture.
