Blue Diamond Growers is making it easier for people to create gluten-free cakes, brownies and cookies at home with almond flour baking mixes and single-serve dessert cups. The mixes are made with a combination of finely sifted almond flour, rice flour and tapioca flour, and the ingredient lists are incredibly simple with 10 ingredients or less.
The dairy-free, certified kosher and Non-GMO Project verified baking mixes in boxes can be used to prepare classics like chocolate chip cookies with alternative flour or chocolate and yellow cake. For those who need just a small bite of indulgence, there's a Molten Chocolate Cake and a Brownie with Diced Almonds that can be made in 60 seconds using a microwave. These simple make-at-home treats offer an alternative to traditional baking products that are better-for-you options.
