If you or someone in your family has a wheat allergy or intolerance, you know how challenging it can be having to learn how to bake from scratch without wheat. Wheat free and gluten free mixes like this one from Bob’s Red Mill can be very convenient, especially when you’re just learning how to replace wheat with other grains.

Bob’s Red Mill products are more reasonably priced than some other gluten/wheat free mixes, which gives them a real thumbs up in my book. When I saw this mix in my local grocery store (it was a large chain not a small health food store), I cooked up a batch of cornbread to go along with my beans. I was very pleased with the flavor.

The finished product was a little “wetter” than the cornbread I’m accustomed to, but I’ll have to experiment to see if perhaps using a wider or a different pan yields different results. Also, the cornbread is a little sweet which is fine if that’s how you’re used to eating cornbread. I’m from the South and we don’t eat our cornbread sweet, but I still liked the taste.

The next day I made the leftovers into cornbread dressing, which was also very tasty although again a little on the moist side. Overall it’s a very good product for the price, and very convenient to use too. The Bob’s Red Mill website is a nice source of wheat and gluten free recipes so you can expand your repertoire of wheat/gluten free
baking.
