These Gluten Free Strawberry Brownie Bars are so good! Nobody suspects they are gluten free; everyone just loves these brownies.
Gluten Free Strawberry Brownie Bars
Looking for a great treat to make that is Gluten Free, but doesn’t taste like it? I know it can be hard to include gluten free treats that aren’t rice krispy treats when you’re asked to bring something to a group function, and if you aren’t comfortable baking with gluten free mixes, then box mixes are your friend. These gluten free strawberry brownie bars start off with a gluten free brownie mix and yummy Lucky Leaf strawberry pie filling, which is naturally gluten free. I’ve added a gluten free pretzel crust, then layered on some frosting and a chocolate layer. These gluten free strawberry brownie bars will be everyone’s favorite, regardless!
Now, if you don’t want to make these gluten free, you can totally swap out regular pretzels and brownie mix. It’s all good with me. However, if you are interested in dabbling in gluten free baking for friends and family, this is an easy recipe to start with. Since it’s all from premade ingredients, you don’t have to worry about mixing flours or using xantham gum. I’ve had a few gluten free failures in the kitchen. UGH!
Your gluten free friends will appreciate your hard work in the kitchen.
And your non-gluten free friends won’t even notice the difference.

I don’t seem to have much luck in the consistency department whenever I try to make my own gluten free flour mixes, so box mixes it is! These brownies look incredible! No one would ever suspect that they’re gluten free.
That’s exactly why I’ve given up om trying to make my own GF recipes. Mixes for the WIN!
These look and sound soooo good! It’s hard to beat a chocolate-strawberry combo!
Oh I love this!! My brother is gluten free so I definitely like to have options of things I can make where nobody will know it’s gluten free!
I hope that he, and everyone else, likes them as much as we did! Enjoy!
I love strawberries and chocolate together! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy them!
Oh, the pretzel crust must really take these from really good to amazing — Love the combination of sweet and salty flavors!
It does. I love salty and sweet combo!
I keep a few gluten free baking mixes on hand for times when my mom drops by and I need to make something that she can eat with us…so I love that I could just whip this up and impress in no time. It looks beautiful!
Yes indeed. They are really yummy and worth the wait time between layers.
These bars look fabulous! Love that combo of strawberry and chocolate.
Me too!!
I love the layers of this delicious dessert. I don’t normally bake gluten free, so I appreciate that you said you can swap out the products I normally purchase. Nice video, BTW 🙂
I don’t bake GF very often either and that’s why I prefer to use mixes. They always turn out good.
Looks so easy and delicious. I’ll have to try the strawberry filling.
They were GREAT! I gave them away to the gals at the gym. haha!
Strawberries and chocolate, one of my favorite combos. And I love that pretzel crust!
Thanks Brenda! It was a fun treat!
These look absolutely amazing. I love layered bars like this. Can’t wait to try them.
