On Thursday, The Essential Gluten-Free Baking Guides will officially be available and in the mail to anyone who has pre-ordered them! (If you want in on part of this first shipment be sure to put in this order today or tomorrow!)
This 9 month project was life changing. Iris Higgins and I deconstructed Gluten Free Baking to is core. We spent endless time with 12 different flours. On a daily basis we are asked questions like “Can I replace Almond Flour with Coconut?” “I can’t have rice flour, what can I use instead? “I can’t have eggs, how do I replace them?”. “I don’t like to use xanthan gum, how do I replace it?” These guides are dedicated to those questions! It can take years to become a proficient gluten free baker. We decided to spill all of our time earned baking secrets into each and every page. The knowledge you will learn will allow you to look at any gluten free recipe and have a solid understanding in how to convert it to meet your dietary needs, saving you time and money! We wanted to answer the questions that have never been answered before. Each of these goals were accomplished and we could not be more excited to lovingly share all of it with you!
And then of course, there are the recipes! Our testers were a happy bunch! The Cinnamon Roll recipe pictured above brought tears of joy when I taught a class at the Dallas Gluten and Allergen Free Expo. Nilla Wafers, English Muffins, Bread made without all of the most common allergens… there is something in these books for everyone! Want to know more? Read the answers to these FAQ.
In celebration of this big release for the next three days, Iris and I will be giving away daily gift baskets from companies that we love! All of the gift baskets have been donated from the companies themselves, so be sure to send them lots of love for sharing their goodies with us all! And these companies were chosen for one reason: We use their products regularly. You’ll notice in our books that when we talk about different ingredients, we also let you know which companies we prefer. We know that when it comes to baking, quality of ingredients is extremely important, and we want you to have only the best when you try our recipes!
What are we giving away today?
Big Tree Farms Gift Pack:
Big Tree Farms is sending one lucky winner one 8.5 ounce bag each of Ginger, Turmeric, and Cinnamon Flavored Coconut Palm Sugar plus a jar of Korintje Cinnamon Honey.

I would love to win the Navitas Naturals gift pack. I am so excited about your new book. I love you are publishing things that are xanthum gum free. I am switching my kitchen to gluten-free and my hubby has a problem with weird sounding ingredients. He may make fun of the chia seeds and call them “hippy food,” but he will still eat them.
I honestly love how easy it is to navigate the Navitas web site. The clear icons for each food item makes it easy for those of us with failing eyesight to locate the correct items.
I think it is awesome how Big Tree Farms includes native Balinese traditions and practices in their products and techniques.

I like all the different and unique products Navitas offers, such as pomegranate powder. I did not know they offered such a wide variety of products. By the way I was at the expo in Dallas and the cinnamon rolls were absolutely incredible. I had lost all hope of ever tasting something that good again!!:)

After visiting Navitas Naturals website, I like their food philosophy and accreditations from sources I trust (Oprah!).
After visiting Big Tree Farms website, I found their Bamboo Chocolate Factory to be incredibly neat! The fact they use sustainable farming is awesome.

I liked your Facebook page!
Both Navitas and Big tree seem like they have really good qualitity, healthful products. I really like that they both have recipes some of which that accomodate different dietary needs- gluten free, vegan, etc
Enjoyed browsing the recipes on both web sites today.
I would love to win either but if I absolutely has to chose I would pick navita naturals. What a great contest!!
I checked out both websites and they both seem like great companies that have lots of products that I am very interested in. I was looking through some of the recipes and they look right up my alley!

Oooh Navitas Naturals for me! So sweet of you to offer a giveaway!
The coffee blossom honey at Big Tree Farms looks pretty good!!
Awesome giveaway! I like the thought of winning the Big Tree or Navitas…but the Navitas would probably be more practical for my own kitchen so I’d go with that. Good luck to everyone!
Just visited both Navitas and Big Tree’s sites. Navitas was nice since they offered all sorts of things, like Mulberries, which i’ve never tried before. AND they offered recipes for each item they sell also! Pretty neat!! On Big Tree’s site, I like that they offer ‘seed chips’ (hard to find in a regular store) and customer created recipes from their products! Both are terrific sites.
I’ve never even heard of flavored palm sugar! I’d go with #1!
I like you on FB, of course
And I subscribe by RSS.
I would like to have the Navitas pack as I have been thinking of using some of these

I look forward to checking out your new books. An awesome accomplishment! Both giveaways look fab, I”ve not tried either before now, but I think the Navitas pack would be more practical in my kitchen. I’ve never tried chia seeds and they scare me — hmmm, I really need the cookbooks
I’d be thrilled with either of these, but the flavoured palm sugars intrigue me, as does the cinnamon honey!
Would love the Big Tree Farms set!

I love Navitas Natural products so winning some chia seeds would be great!
I think Navitas is a great company because they value sourcing food from partnerships that help small farmers and promote good environmental practices. The products are becoming more mainstream, but they company hasn’t lost sight of it’s core values.

Brittany, what great exposure for those companies. Love what happens with free enterprise and motivation, don’t you? The Big Tree Farms site made me want to buy one of everything they offer, let alone I felt like I was in a National Geographic Travel’s Slideshow. The Navitas website isn’t only beautiful. The art of eating chocolate just expanded through their products. Both sites introduce the idea that there’s sugar and then there’s fascinating sugars from other sources. Thanks a mil!
I would love the Navartis Natural gift pack…especially since I bake egg and xanthum gum free!! Can’t wait for the books!

Navitas Naturals produces awesome products. I am already in love with the palm sugar because I use it in all of the recipes from the Spunky Coconut. I checked out the Navitas website and found they have lots of gluten free recipes too. I just wish I had all their products since that is mostly what they use. With that being said, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE the Navitas giveaway!
I’d like the Big Tree Farms Gift Pack:
I learned that Nativas’ mission is all about increasing energy in people.

I love that Navitas Naturals is a certified organic company! Also love that it is based out of California like me! jk! It is more bank for the buck and I love natural stuff without all the added stuff! I am Gluten free and Dairy free, and there is a lot of “added” “non organic” stuff added that include Gluten and Dairy. I love that there is no “hidden” ingredients! I feel like Big Tree Farms really cares about the community and the quality of their products! Nutrition is a HUGE part of my life with my mother being a dietitian and making sure my husband is healthy serving our country!

First of all, Congratulations! More than what I want from this giveaway, this is really about celebrating the accomplishments of you and Iris. I cannot wait to dive in to your books and I am so looking forward to the way your books will open up so many doors to the food-sensitive.
So now that I’ve got that off my chest, the Big Tree Farms prize would be sweet. (lol)
I would love to win the Navitas Naturals gift pack! I recently discovered that I am allergic to gluten. And, since I feel tremendously better being GF (& also dairy free), I am trying to convert my whole family to GF as well. I love your blog!
