I’m definitely not one who bakes a lot unless it’s a gluten free mix from a box. Two reasons: I’m just not that into figuring out how to get the right texture and consistency with the gluten and grain free flours. It never seems to compare to the real deal to me.

I was super excited when I came across Simple Mills brand of mixed because they are super clean and in addition to being gluten free, they are also grain free using almond and coconut flours!…
