MY TOP 5 FAVORITE GLUTEN FREE

PRODUCTS OF 2019

April 19, 2020

BY RACHEL VAVRO

As someone who has only been gluten free for a little over a year now, I am constantly trying new products. While I do my fair share of gluten free cooking and baking from scratch, there I times when I just want the convenience of having things on hand and I feel very fortunate to live in a time where we have SO MANY gluten free products to choose from. That being said, they cannot all be winners, so I decided to list my top 5 favorite gluten free products that I discovered in 2019, for anyone else out there who might be on the hunt for some good gluten free food!

#5 Trader Joe's Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix

It's no coincidence that three of the five items on this list are from Trader Joe's. Their prices are usually very reasonable and they have so many great gluten free products to choose from. This pancake & waffle mix is definitely a favorite of mine!

Why I Love This Product: These pancakes are perfect for when I am craving something sweet and decadent for Sunday brunch! They are easy to prepare and have a rich, buttery flavor with a perfectly fluffy texture. They are exactly what I look for in a pancake! I have yet to attempt waffles because I do not have a waffle iron, but I'm sure they'd be just as tasty!

Available on Amazon or your local Trader Joe's store :)

#4 Trader Joe's Everything Bagels

These bagels are awesome! They have a nice texture and flavor and make excellent sandwiches. They're also great with avocado, eggs, smoked salmon, and so many other things. Of course, the classic bagel and cream cheese combo is always a tasty option too!

Why I Love This Product: My favorite part of these bagels is definitely the seasoning! It's EVERYTHING (pun intended)!

Available at your local Trader Joe's :)

#3 Simple Mills Sea Salt Crackers

As someone who loves charcuterie boards, tasty crackers paired with fancy cheeses and cured meats is my JAM! Luckily I came across Simple Mills Sea Salt Crackers at Kroger and they are perfect for satisfying all of my cracker needs. They're crunchy, yet not too hard or dry, and that little taste of sea salt is wonderful.

Why I Love This Product: These crackers are made from all natural ingredients and the hint of sweetness and nuttiness you get from the almond flour is so delicious!

Available at most grocery stores or on Amazon :)

#2 Katz Gluten Free Cinnamon Donuts

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year, and one of my favorite fall activities was always indulging in the classic cinnamon donut and apple cider combo. Since I stopped eating gluten, I was definitely sad to be missing out on that...UNTIL I discovered Katz Gluten Free Cinnamon Donuts! These are so delicious, and in my opinion they taste just like the donuts you get at the cider mill!

Why I Love This Product: While they do make lots of other donut flavors (all of which are undoubtedly delicious), the cinnamon donuts hold a special place in my heart because they give me that warm and satisfying feeling (and taste) of fall that I crave!

Available on Katz Gluten Free website, Amazon, and in some grocery stores :)

#1 Trader Joe's Chocolate Cupcakes

As much as I love everything on this list, my number one pick was the CLEAR front runner. I am not exaggerating when I say that these are my favorite cupcakes of all time, INCLUDING GLUTENOUS CUPCAKES! Seriously, if I didn't know these were gluten free, I would not be able to tell. They are so rich and chocolatey and moist! Not to mention, that buttercream frosting is to die for!

Why I Love This Product: Everything about these cupcakes is amazing. They are a perfectly decadent, "treat yo self" dessert and whether you're gluten free or not, I HIGHLY recommend giving these a try!

Available at your local Trader Joes :)
