List of Gluten-free Cereals and Breakfast Foods

Here is a list of gluten-free Cereals both organic and commercially available as well as gluten-free breakfast foods.

Cold Cereals

Chex Cereal--Honey Nut, Chocolate, Rice, Cinnamon (there are other gluten-free flavors. Not all flavors are gluten-free. My personal favorite is the cinnamon :D ) I also love that General Mills is a sponsor for the Celiac Disease Foundation.

Rice Krispies (make sure you read the label as there is both a gluten-free version AND one that is made with barley malt)

Envirokids Cereals (Yummy and a percentage of the sales goes to wildlife conservation)

Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles (I was elated when they made Fruity Pebbles gluten-free I felt like a kid again!)

Glutino--(they have a vast array of different kinds of cereals. My personal favorite is the honey nut cereal. They also have one that is very similar to Frosted Flakes)

Arrowhead Mills--(organic and wide array to choose from)

Hot Cereals

Cream of Rice--(delicious with some butter, sugar and cinnamon or fresh fruit if you prefer)

Some of the Best Gluten Free Sweets

Here is a list of some delicious gluten-free products that I have come across in my gluten-free journey. Just because you have Celiac doesn't mean you cannot still indulge your sweet tooth :)

Glutino:

Now for those who want a ready-made sweet snack to enjoy there is the Glutino chocolate covered pretzels. 

There is also a delicious array of gluten-free cookies and wafers. My personal favorite is the chocolate wafers but all of their sweets are sinfully delicious and sure to please any Celiac sufferer with a sweet tooth. 

Here is a list of some of the ready-made sweets Glutino has to offer:

Glutino Chocolate-covered Pretzels

Glutino Chocolate Chip Cookies

Glutino Vanilla Creme Cookies

Glutino Chocolate Vanilla Creme Cookies (for those of you who miss being able to eat Oreos)

Glutino Chocolate Wafers

Glutino Vanilla Wafers

Glutino Lemon Wafers (they are tart but still deliciously sweet)

Glutino Chocolate Peanut butter Organic Bars (they taste just like Quaker Chewy bars maybe even better!)

Glutino Glazed Original Donuts (That's right they have donuts! And they are heavenly!)

Glutino Chocolate Glazed Donuts

(Keep in mind the donuts must be refrigerated as they will last longer that way.)

Now for those of you who like to bake and don't mind having to do a little work to have the tasty gluten-free sweets you desire. Glutino has gluten-free baking mixes tcalled Gluten-Free Pantry that were created by a professional chef who's son was diagnosed with Celiac disease.

Here is a list of some of the mixes Gluten-Free Pantry offers:

GFP Chocolate Truffle Brownie Mix

GFP Old Fashioned Cake & Cookie Mix (first gluten-free cake mix I ever tried)

GFP Muffin & Scone Mix

GFP Chocolate Chip Cookie & Cake Mix

GFP Decadent Chocolate Cake Mix 

Now for those who cannot afford organic gluten-free cake and cookie mixes. Do not despair Betty Crocker has released a line of GF baking mixes that are delicious and easy to make as well. And are also the same price as standard Betty Crocker mixes.

Betty Crocker Yellow Cake Mix 

Betty Crocker Brownie Mix

Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix (I advise using butter instead of vegetable spread or margarine as the cookies can sometimes come out rather gritty otherwise)

(Also keep in mind that the Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookies expand a lot so leave plenty of space between scoops and though the box said not to you should grease the pan anyway. Because the cookies will stick to the pan!

Well that's all for now. I will be adding more gluten-free brands I have come to know and love. More sweets for all of you Celiac sufferers who have a major sweet tooth.

Until then remember living gluten-free is a journey of learning and changing and ebing diagnosed with Celiac is not the end of the world. 

Just the beginning of a new chapter.
