Deerfields Gluten Free Bakery

Posted in Gluten Free, and Reviews

Deerfields Gluten Free Bakery is located in Illinois, but thankfully, for those of us that don’t live in the Illinois area, their products are available online.  (They are also available in select stores in other states.)  They will ship their gluten free baked goods right to your front door.  All items are baked in a gluten free oven, and no gluten flours are store on premises. Deerfields sent us an amazing sampler of some of their most popular items.  I was surprised by one of the ingredients they use in many of their baked goods – coconut flour.  I have…
