I used to bake with almonds all the time – the “flour” makes such a great nutrient dense option for GF baking. But now that we are an allergy friendly home, we don’t re-stock various ingredients as they run out. Namely, nuts (and their butters/flours). So I was super excited when Simple Mills offered to send me a few sample items.
An all-in-one mix with the same simple ingredients I’d use if I were making them at home…but SO much easier! I have never been much of a baking mix person, because I can easily make pancakes and brownies on my own from scratch (and know there’s no unnecessary processed stuff in them), but I’d be lying if I said the concept wasn’t alluring. So as soon as I read the labels on their mixes I replied YES to Simple Mills.
All you add is water, eggs, and oil (I used coconut oil). They have an egg free option as well, so they can be enjoyed by vegans or those with egg allergies, too.
Ingredients I like.
I baked them after P went to bed (when I do anything with allergens, it’s when he’s asleep).
It took NO TIME AT ALL.
I sampled one as soon as they cooled. So fluffy and good. The pumpkin flavor tastes real not artificial and they aren’t nearly as sweet as most box mixed baked goods you’d find these days. Nutritionally, I thought they were an awesome option for snacks, breakfast, or dessert!
I ended up eating them for dessert the next three nights and now they are gone.
The closest place to buy them near me is in SF so I’m definitely going to request them from my local grocer. [You can order online too]
Highly recommend.
