Happy Friday everyone! The week is winding down and it’s time for Gluten Free Friday. If you’re new here, Gluten Free Friday is a weekly post featuring the latest and greatest in gluten free and allergen friendly products. We’ve partnered with some great brands this week, just like every week! Even though we received complimentary samples of all the products in this week’s post, we only share our honest opinion of products we think you will love. If you’ve been here before on Gluten Free Friday, I’m sure you’re looking forward to seeing what we’ve been sampling this week, so let’s get started!
1. Milton’s Craft Bakers is a bakery offering gluten free crackers, chips, and cookies. We received a sampling of crackers and chips to sample. The chips are free from gluten, soy, egg, tree nuts, and peanuts. The crackers are peanut and tree nut free as well as gluten free. The chips come in a variety of flavors, from pink Himalayan salt to green chili pepper. Try them with dips, salsas, or just eat them plain! The crackers come in four flavors. We actually used the “everything” flavor crackers on a cheese tray for a neighborhood gathering, and no one noticed that they were gluten free! In fact, they were mostly devoured by the time we gathered up the leftovers to leave. I like the crackers with dips, hummus, and just straight from the bag.
Contains: both contain dairy, crackers contain additional allergens.
Good for: snacking, coatings and toppings, school and work lunches, kids
2. Numanna is a survival food company offering dehydrated meals for long-term storage. Back in 2011, my family learned the importance of emergency preparedness after a large-scale tornado wreaked havoc on the surrounding area. Although we were fine, many of our friends and family were directly affected. Some people lost power and water for extended periods of time! Having the right supplies on hand is essential, but it can be hard to find survival products that are gluten free. Numanna offers survival packs that are gluten free. They do contain oats, so if you’re sensitive to oats, you may want to steer clear. The gluten free Numanna Family Pack is also soy free.
Good for: preppers, people in areas prone to natural disasters, anyone who wants to be prepared.
Contains: different dishes contain different allergens, including dairy.
3. Among Friend’s Hand-Crafted baking mixes are certified gluten free baking mixes made with whole grains and no gums or fillers. Whether you’re looking for cornbread or cookies, you’re sure to find what you need! We received a chocolate cake mix and chocolate chip cookies to try out. I am a huge cookie snob, so if I’m going to eat a cookie, it has to be a good one. These were more like oat chocolate chip cookies than traditional chocolate chip cookies, but they turned out deliciously soft. They were great warm!
Contains: Various mixes contain soy, tree nuts, and are processed on equipment with tree nuts. Mixes call for dairy.
4. Bare Snacks makes crunchy baked snacks out of fruit and chia. Offering coconut, apple, and banana chips along with new coconut chia bites. The coconut chips come in a variety of fun flavors like sweet & heat and coffee bean, and there are three flavors of both apple chips and banana chips. My husband, a big fan of fruit, loved the apple chips. I thought the coconut chips (especially the coffee bean flavor) were a great addition on top of a smoothie bowl or oatmeal.
Contains: no top 8 allergens
Good for: kids, snacking, on the go, granola,
5. Peace A’ Cake is a brand making desserts that are actually good for you! They take care of consumers with various dietary needs, including those of us who are gluten free. Peace A’Cake uses cassava flour, which means they also offer paleo friendly products! Some of their products do contain oats, which means they’re not paleo friendly. Cassava flour, like coconut flour, makes a dense baked good. I added a little whipped topping to the double chocolate brownie, which cancelled out the vegan quality of it but made it a little moister. It’s because I’m a fudge brownie person, and these were more like cake brownies. The muffins were good for breakfast and for on the go!
Contains: oats
Good for: vegans, on the go, snacking, easy breakfast
That’s all we have for you this Friday! Join us next Friday for more gluten free goodness and allergy friendly finds! Which of these products would you like to try first?

I’ve never tried gluten free, but I see a few items that I would try out.
I have never heard of these brands. I am going to have to look into them for my little one.
I would love to get my hands on those crackers. They’re perfect as snacks and they’d go well with a healthy dip too, like hummus!
Loving these products! I usually crave for crunchy snacks that are packed with flavor. With these, I won’t feel guilty about snacking.
I just love this series! Great choices this week, I’ll have to check out!
These are all great gluten free picks. The baked chips and baked crackers look delicious. We do not have any special diets but these would be good to have if we have guests around who are gluten sensitive.
I am interested to try Bare. It does look like it will be my new favorite snacks. The coffee bean coconut chips sounds so good! I’m going to look for these snacks the next time I shop.
Great list of gluten free products! The cupcakes and the apple and coconut chips sure look delicious. I love the Numanna products. It would be good to have these in stock for any emergency. It would also be a nice product to donate in outreach missions and feeding programs.
This is my first time knowing about this brand. Their selection is great, I will mention this to a friend whose son follows a gluten free diet.
I went to my local organic store a few days ago and got new gluten-free cookies and snack chips to try. This a nice list, thanks for sharing!
All these products sound and look amazing. I can’t believe I haven’t heard of any of these yet. I will have to see if they can be purchased near me.
Thank God its Friday! would love to try these out . I really would love to try out the crackers. Perfect way to ring in the weekend.
These seem like really yummy snacks! I love how there are so many more options for GF and food allergies now!
There is a ton of great snacks here. I really love how healthy all of it is.
I have to say that I’ve not tried any of these brands before. I always love trying new things though!
Dessert is my favorite meal of the day, so all these yummy options are bringing a smile to my face. Gluten free doesn’t have to mean missing out anymore.
This is a great list! I know a few families that have a gluten free child and they struggle to find good snacks to grab and go when life gets busy. It is nice there is so many options now for people who need to stick to a gluten free diet.
These snacks all look so tasty! I’d like to try those Peace A cake chips they look good!
I keep on forgetting about Gluten Free Fridays but it’s such a great idea. Your blog reminds me every week and it’s definitely something I want to incorporate with my family!
I am thinking I will give the BARE products a try. Appreciate another week of gluten free options. I have found that when I shop at my local grocery store Market Basket a lot of their brands (The MB brand) is gluten free so I usually go with their brand but occasionally I dabble into new brands and BARE looks like a good option to try this week!
These are fabulous gluten free foods. It is great that it becomes easier day by day to find these foods.
I like the Peace a’cake. Healthy and delicious is always a good GF combo.
These are all awesome gluten free foods. The Bare Snacks sound like something we would love to try and the Numanna survival packs would be great for emergencies. Thanks for sharing these gluten free foods.
Gluten free products are becoming more and more popular these days. I am not a gluten free diet, but I would love to try all these.
I need to see if those Bare snacks are located in my area. I think they look like something I would love, even though I am not on a gf diet.
I am recently diagnosed Celiac so appreciate this list. I’ve been a bit confused:)
The Numanna foods are pretty cool. It’s nice that they can help when you’re in a pinch and it’s definitely cool that they are gluten free.
I can attest to Milton’s as I eat those all the time. Very good…and my family likes them too.
What another great line up, I really want to try the peace a’ cake, they look so nice!
It’s nice to see that people who need/want gluten free options have more choices. It seems like only a few years ago there were a couple of brands that carried GF products.
That Numanna seems like it would be really great to have on hand in case of an emergency especially if you’re gluten free! Peace o cake looks really yummy and convenient!
I love those gluten free mixes! I make gluten free recipes a lot for a friend of mine, but many of them have to be done from scratch. A boxed gluten free recipe will save me SO much time.
They make gluten free everything these days! I would have never thought that dehydrated meals would come in gluten free options.
Amazing how many more and more of these products are hitting the shelves. Still need to always read the ingredients and purchase what is best for your family.
I’m finding so many new products to try every Friday! I’ve never heard of many of these products and I’d love to try the crackers and chips.
