Review of 'El Peto' Brownie Mix

El Peto -- Brownie Mix (vegan, GF)
Overall rating: 2/5
Summary: hmmm, not so good. It's mildly sweet and a bit dry...it's missing that moist chewiness of brownies. I used 125 ml butter and 125ml oil, with 3 eggs.

Where to buy: Fortinos

Brownie Mix

Ingredients:  Gluten free flour mix (corn starch and rice flour), sugar, ground hazelnuts, pure cocoa powder, gluten free baking powder, guar gum

I think for 1 brownie, I calculated around 300 calories, 3.5g of protein, and 2.5g of fiber, and more than 7% iron (with eggs and oil/butter). It's a very underwhelming brownie. The ingredients are fine, except it's not clear it the ingredients are certified non-GMO, so I would not recommend it for this reason as well.

Other mixes (all vegan):
Brand:    
  • 100% dedicated gluten free, peanut free and oat free
  • Nutritionally-minded
  • Not very much information about the company on the website
