store bought gluten free coffee cake?

[Anonymous]

Anyone know a place I could pick up gluten free breakfast sweets? Looking for a coffee cake, banana bread, or similar. Trader Joe's or Whole Foods are preferred since it's on my way to work.

They just opened a totally gluten free bakery in Manassas. You could stock up and freeze items.

TJs- in the bread aisle there are four packs of GF muffins- the cinnamon one is really good, probably the closest to coffee cake. I haven’t tried the chocolate one. While not related, there are also GF mini cupcakes, these are only ok- slightly grainy but a good option when short on time.

WF- I haven’t looked for banana bread or coffee cake here, but in the freezer there are good GF frozen bagels from the Greater Knead that have a cinnamon toast version (haven’t tried). These are more spendy than the TJ option, close to $9.00 for four bagels.

The TJs muffins are the best by a long shot. If you have time to bake, get a box of the King Arthur Flour baking mix (usually available at Whole Foods, and I’ve seen it at some Safeways) and follow their coffee cake recipe on the box.

I tried the Greater Knead bagels and they weren’t very good at all.

I really like those gluten free mini cupcakes, actually. The chocolate ones at least. But yes they are a touch grainy.

But fyi not everyone can handle the TJ’s gluten free baked stuff. They aren’t certified gluten free, so if you are ultra sensitive they might not work.

The Trader Joe's muffins (cinnamon / coffee cake flavor) are insanely sweet. I like the chocolate ones better.

Giant, Whole Foods, Wegmans all have frozen items that would do the trick too - we like the Katz brand and Kinnikinnick.

We like the Katz gluten free doughnuts if you can find them. I’ve seen them at Publix and Target.
