Has anyone used the Namaste "Blondies" mix? Is is good? Also any hints or suggestions for mixing, baking, storing. I went to the health food store to buy the Namaste Chocolate cake mix and they were sold out. So I bought the blondies mix instead.

I made the blondies. As suggested on the package I added some nuts, chocolate chips and coconut. Two cups in total. I was very careful at how long I baked them to be sure that I did not get them overdone. THEY WERE VERY VERY GOOD. My husband really liked them as well and he is very careful about eating anything that he knows is gluten free. I sure was due something that was really good as I had made some things lately that were just ok.

Thanks for posting the results. They'll be in my basket next time I go to Whole Foods.

Let us know what you think.

I love these. Our local grocer carried them once then stopped. Fortunately the grocer offers a discount on special orders so I order them a case at a time (6 to a case). I usually eat mine totally plain, but white chocolate chips would be great. I tend to use less oil than the mix calls for.

White chocolate chips are AWESOME in the mix. I also use less oil. I do 1cup applesauce and then 1/2 oil. All of that oil grosses me out...way too much. The applesauce is a great sub.

Man, I love their chocolate cake mix, liked the spice cake, thought the yellow cake was OK...but I hated these. So did DH...I froze them initally, but after trying them the second time, I threw them out. We don't throw out much.

I ended up using the mix as a basis for a light chocolate cake - it turned out delic - so much so that I might buy the mix just to use to make the cake. But, never again to make these.

So, I guess as with all things, there are few absolutes, huh?

Haven't tried the Blondies by Namaste, but we love their chocolate cake mix. Based on this I just made their vanilla cake, and we thought it was awful! If you don't like the Blondies cookies, I have a great blonde brownie recipe with dates & nuts that everyone likes (celiac disease or not). Jo Ann

I wasnt a big fan of their white cake either, it just seemed to bland. So when I made it last I took the stick part of a wooden spoon and poked about 12 holes in the cake while still hot after it came out of the oven from top to bottom evenly throughout the cake and dumped smuckers strawberry ice cream syrup over them ( the whole jar) and then when it cooled I frosted the cake with vanilla frosting. It was delicious. My whole family loved it including my dad who is hard to please.

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
