Growing up, baking was something I always did with my mom. I love thinking of the memories we made baking cookies and brownies in the kitchen. No special occasions required. It was just something we did together, whether it was for fun or for a family dinner. I’ll be the first to tell you I’m not the best cook. But, I looooove to bake! Now my mom, she was a master at baking from scratch. I, on the other hand, require a little help! Earlier this year, I shared some of my favorite healthy snacks from Now Foods. Then, I recently found out that they make the most delicious baking mixes and had to share those too.

My Favorite Allergy-Friendly, Gluten-Free Now Foods Baking Mixes
These days it’s hard to find anyone who isn’t allergic to something. Often it’s soy, nuts, dairy or gluten. Or, maybe it’s eggs or shellfish. All of those aversions can make it tough to bake without worrying about who may get sick when you have them over. That’s just one of the reasons I continue to love the Now Foods brands, including Living Now®. They’re easily my favorite allergy-friendly, gluten free baking mixes. But, besides being good for you they also make it ridiculously easy to bake delicious foods.

Now Foods Baking Mixes
Okay, so they’re good for you. But, do they taste good? I mean, why would I settle for a cookie or brownie that doesn’t make my mouth water when it’s fresh and warm right out of the oven? It’s simple. I wouldn’t.
The Now Foods baking mixes basically do all the work for you. Sure, it’s great to have all the time in the world and to whip something up from scratch. And, baking mixes are often criticized for lacking flavor or sacrificing high-quality ingredients. But, with Living Now that’s not the case. Sure, you’ll save time. But, it’s the yummy flavor that will keep you reaching for their dry mix when you’re hankering for a cookie or muffin!
Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix
Let’s start with the Chunky, Chocolate Chip Cookie mix. Chocolate chip cookies are sacred in our house. Between my mother-in-law and my cousin Christine, we are seriously spoiled! But, neither of them live close to us. The only time I personally come close to their heavenly cookies are when I use this mix. I’ll just tell you now. The special ingredient is the chocolate they use. And, they don’t skimp on it! Plus, shocker – it’s DAIRY FREE! The only thing that makes these even better is that they’re also non-GMO (which means no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives). Believe me, you’ll want to take credit for these cookies. They are that good!
Organic Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix
The only thing better than gooey chocolate chip cookies is a warm chocolate fudge brownie (topped with vanilla ice cream, of course). With dry mixes, all of the ingredients have been selected, perfectly measured combined. This one is entirely organic, including organic brown rice flour and organic cocoa powder. Just add water, eggs and canola oil to this bag of brownie mix and you’re set! Living Now® makes it super easy to enjoy the best desserts, especially for anyone with food sensitivities.
Gluten-Free Baking and Pancake Mix
Cookies and brownies are always at the top of my list. But, for all the bakers out there, Living Now® also has a gluten-free baking mix that you can use to serve up scrumptious pancakes, waffles, crepes, muffins and more! This all-purpose mix is kosher, gluten-free and made in an allergy-friendly facility. Sure, baking mix can be a shortcut. But, when it’s this delicious it’s a building block for all your favorite recipes.
Eating organic, natural foods is about more than your health. For people with food sensitivities, it’s a way of life. Now thinking back on those days where my my hands were covered with flour, I love that Now Foods baking mixes and the Living Now® brand give people (with food allergies or not) an easy way to enjoy baking like I did with my mom. Food (and cooking, in general) has a way of connecting us. So, even if the baking part doesn’t come naturally and it’s the end result you’re after, you can be guaranteed you’ll be smiling when you’re noshing on these cookies.
