About This Calculation

Gluten free trail mix cookies has a low glycemic load of 3.7 per serving — minimal blood sugar impact — suitable for most people managing diabetes or blood sugar levels.

The primary glycemic load contributors are pure maple syrup (GL 1.4), gluten-free rolled oats (GL 1.3), gluten-free rolled oats (GL 0.7). These ingredients account for the majority of the carbohydrate impact per serving.

Glycemic load is calculated as GL = (GI × Net Carbs per serving) ÷ 100, where GI is the glycemic index and net carbs exclude dietary fiber. Calculations draw on established nutritional references including USDA FoodData Central values and peer-reviewed glycemic index research.
