8. Cinnamon Raisin Bread

The Gluten Free Cinnamon Raisin Bread was a bit bland, except for the few raisins found throughout the bread.

7. Double Chocolate Muffins

While they had a rich chocolate flavor, the Gluten Free Double Chocolate Muffins were kind of dry. The label is also a bit misleading.
The "double" chocolate part comes from the cocoa powder in the batter and the chocolate chips that are ostensibly in them, but which were scant.

6. Madeleine Cookies

Overall, the Gluten Free Madeleine Cookies were good. They're very moist, have a nice vanilla-lemon flavor, and have a perfect crumb.

5. Chocolate Chip Cookies

For $4.99, Trader Joe's Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies were a fine deal, several inches across with more than a dozen per box.
They were crisp and salty, with a nice snap that was closer to a biscuit than a cookie. However, you may want to pass on them if you don't like that gingersnap texture.

4. Oatmeal Coconut Cookies

The Gluten Free Oatmeal Coconut Cookies are soft and chewy, with slightly crispy edges. The coconut flavor does add an unusual depth to the treat.
