I've made a couple of the muffins/breads from these mixes and so far they haven't been very good. Does anyone have any suggestions on adding something to mix to make it taste better or possibly other mxes that are good? I'm trying to find other foods for my toddler and possibly sneaky ways to get healthy additives in.

I abandoned premixes a long time ago unless I'm visiting relatives and just need to get through the weekend without being terribly sick. I tend to make my own now and once I find a blend that works well, I make a big batch of it and dole out the right serving size into containers or ziplock bags so I just grab a bag and add the wet ingredients and viola.

I also have given up on the mixes. Tried a lot of them when I was first diagnosed, and didn't love any.

So here's my favorite gluten-free website, and they have GREAT bread recipes. I keep a large tupperware of both the flour mixes they use in my kitchen to help throw things together more quickly. I also keep lots of muffin liners handy :) I make a lot of bitesized "mini" muffins too. I listed the recipes you can find below, and put a * next to the ones I have tried, and LOVED!

The gluten free mixes by 123 Gluten Free are incredible. They have biscuit, cookie, pan bar, brownie, and pound cake mixes that are delicious. My non-celiac friends and family like them more than gluten mixes, and my students at school are always asking me to bring them some, especially the cake and brownies. I also like one mix by Whole Foods, the 365 brand of gluten free brownies. But I would agree that the rest out there are not very good.

Our favorite boxed mix company (for cookies, buscuits, and muffins) is 123 Gluten Free. But they're not cheap. I save these boxed mixes for holidays, birthdays, and special occassions. It's possible to order from them online, but I think you save money if you can buy from a local vendor. Their sugar cookies are our very favorite. They're scrumptious! But to give you some idea of what they cost, a box makes about four dozen cookies, but it costs us about ten bucks a box. The cool thing about them, though, is that you can cut them into holiday shapes and frost them to look like normal wheat-based sugar cookies. Once baked, they store best in the fridge. They tend to get soft and break apart in a cookie jar.

Here's their URL:

Thank you! This is great. I will try some of these starting today. Can you store the flour mixtures in seeled canisters in the cabinet or do they need to be refrigerated?

hmm.. could it be that your not using fresh ingredients in preparation? we have found the really great food company to have the best mixes around. the mix is so fine and not grainy like so many of the other companies. i would definitely give the mix another try and pay close attention to the exp. dates of the milk or eggs you may have used when baking. The Vanilla muffin mix and the cornbread muffin mix are a staple in our household. GOOD LUCK!!!

Don't give up on mixes! They are a huge time-saver and there are many that are really good.

  • I am a huge fan of Pamela's mixes. They are versatile, with lots of different recipes on the package and they always come out great-tasting (in my experience).
  • I also think 1-2-3 Gluten-Free is excellent.
  • 'Cause You're Special makes good ones
  • A small company in Oregon called Laurel's Sweet Treats is great.

There are others, but these are my favorites.

      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?

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. 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.
