Waffles & Pancakes MIX- PRODUCT REVIEW

We found a gluten free waffle and pancake mix that is better than any non gluten free we have tried. Again, if you prefer a different brand, please let us know so we can all try it!

Namaste Foods - Waffle & Pancake Mix
We have a hard time getting this at the store now for some reason. I assume it's because they are always out. From time to time I can find one at the back of the shelf but it seems to be scarce. I will have to try another store (two seem to consistently be out). If I get desperate I will see about ordering!

My add ins: (we double the recipe because there are 5 of us and usually have at least 2 extra over on the weekends)
- 2 packets of Stevia in the Raw
- 3 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
-1 teaspoon of vanilla
Sometimes we add in 1.5 cups of blueberries if we are making pancakes. This is an option you may like. My kids like for me to crisscross two pieces of thick, center cut bacon in the middle of waffle iron while the waffles are baking. I know it sounds weird but it really is good! The waffles are amazingly crips on the outside!

Chocolate Cupcakes - PRODUCT REVIEW

Chocolate Cupcakes - Gluten Free - PRODUCT REVIEW

The twins turned 12 and wanted cupcakes. My daughter can eat whatever she likes but her brother can not. We were busy with family in town and working on Thanksgiving foods so I needed a short cut. I used the Betty Crocker Gluten Free Cake Mix - Devils food and it was amazing. No one knew they were gluten free and everyone was asking for me when we were out. Leave it to me to do a bit more to the recipe to "enhance" it....the additions are below.

2 Stevia in the Raw packets (I get complaints that the GF mixes are not sweet enough)
1/4 cup Kahlua
1 Tablespoon instant Coffee

You can choose the icing of your choice... my kids wanted strawberry!
We made mini muffins and regular size cupcakes - these would be good made ahead and frozen. You could ice them as you needed them. A nice lunch box surprise or for when a child that is GF sensitive has a birthday party to go to - they don't have to do without the cake!!
