Food allergies are on the rise. I rarely meet a mother or child that doesn’t share my daily woe’s of trying to feed two children with food sensitivities. At a birthday this past weekend, Ez wasn’t the only kid that had to bypass the special treats once again. Since Ez is only two, he isn’t really “aware” of what he might be missing but those days are coming to and end quickly. Soon he will realize that he is missing out on something that everyone else seems to really enjoy.
When Enjoy Life Foods asked me if I wanted to try out their new baking mix series, I immediately said yes. This is a great addition to the already amazing safe selections that Enjoy Life offers. The best thing about these new mixes is that they free from the most common allergens (gluten, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, soy, fish, shellfish, mustard, sulfates). In addition to that, they are also kosher, halal, vegan and non-GMO. Plus, all of the mixes can be made just by adding oil and water. How easy is that?
So what are these magical mixes? All your favorites of course!
- Muffin (add any of your favorite fruits)
- Brownie
- Pancake-Waffle
- Pizza Crust
- All-Purpose Flour
Having a Pancake breakfast is a regular Saturday feature around our house. Normally, I just use a frozen egg and dairy free substitute for Ez while the rest of us enjoy fresh ones right off the griddle. However, now that I have the Enjoy Life Foods Pancake and Waffle mix, I can just make him up a little batch of his own to enjoy.
The first couple of attempts were not so great but after a little practice with consistency, I can now make a pile of flap jacks that Ez can’t stop eating. I did find that the that using the waffle iron is a little bit easier for me. Personally, I have trouble getting used to the gluten free texture but he doesn’t seem to mind one bit.
I also sent in the muffin mix to his school so that his teachers can make them for a special treat after the kids read If You Give a Mouse a Muffin. There are two kids in his class that have egg/dairy sensitivities so the muffin makes it easy to bake with all the kids. I let them know that they can add blueberries or any other treat to make them taste just like any other muffin.
We haven’t quite gotten around to using the other products yet. I am going to save the Brownie Mix to make in individual batches for when we go to parties or other activities where sweet treats are offered. With only needing to add water and oil, it is easy to do some simple math and just divi up the portions to be made.
Lastly, I don’t want to forget to mention that each of the Enjoy Life Foods Baking Mixes enjoys 5g of protein, are developed with a shelf stable probiotic for immune health and made with only the best non-GMO ancient grains.
The Baking Mixes are still very new so they may not be available in your local stores yet. Make sure you ask customer service and the ordering manager to add Enjoy Life Foods Baking Mixes to their shelves. In the mean time, you can order all five boxes, along with allergy safe chocolate chips from their website.
Disclaimer: I received the above mentioned products in exchange for my personal and honest opinions. I want to thank Enjoy Life Foods for making products that make feeding my child easy and safe.Â
I haven’t heard of this one! I’ve never been a big fan of gluteen free texture either, but this sounds yummy!

We don’t have any allergies present in my daughter currently but I love to use this brand’s chocolate chips because they’re just that good!
