2 Gluten Free Baking Mixes We Likey

December 28, 2008

gluten free pantry cake and cookie mix

In my continuing quest to find tasty wheat free treats to serve to my 3 year old wheat allergic daughter (and myself, when I’m being a good girl and avoiding the stuff since I’m also allergic!), I discovered these two mixes.

I’m eating a Snickerdoodle made from The Gluten-Free Pantry Old Fashioned Cake & Cookie Mix as we speak. (Or rather, as I type and you read. Except when you read this I’ll likely not be eating  it. But you get what I mean!)

And it is a sure winner. This one will definitely be appearing in my pantry again.

123 gluten free pan bars

123 Gluten Free Sweet Goodness Pan Bars Mix was transformed into Pumpkin Bars by my 10 year old sous chef in training.

They were delicious! So moist, and you never would have guessed they were wheat free. The texture was just right. The box suggested making icing to go on the top of the pumpkin bars but they were so good without it (plus, I was out of cream cheese).

I’ve discovered that I have to stay away from any mixes that contain soy because I can taste it, and the finished product will give the sensation of sucking on a soybean, which really, really leaves me cold.

This is true of Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix, which is disappointing because the other Bob’s Red Mill gf products are really good. Like the brownie mix, which I reviewed here. Ditto for the cornbread mix.
