I’m glad I accepted an offer to try gluten-free products from Mightylicious, because they were all delicious.
Founder Carolyn Haeler was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2012. After not being able to find any decent gluten-free cookies, she decided to make her own.
Haeler wanted to use ingredients that were simple, pure and clean. The outcome was small-batch cookies that are certified gluten-free, non-GMO and kosher.
All cookies are delivered to distributors within 12 hours to ensure quality and freshness. I especially liked that they were crumbly yet firm enough that they don’t fall apart.
Mightylicious ($8.99 for a bag of nine) comes in seven flavors, including double dutch, brown butter short bread, oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip. Each cookie has about 90 calories, 0-2 g of protein, 3.5-4.5 g of fat and 11-14 g of carbs.
- I’ve never had an oatmeal coconut cookie before, and this one made me realize I’ve been missing out. The coconut flavor was strong and complemented well by the butter flavor. I appreciated that the coconut was blended enough so that I wasn’t eating coconut shavings.
- The salted peanut butter cookie reminded me of a snickerdoodle, even though the ingredients were obviously different (e.g., no cinnamon). It was so good, and there was just enough salt to add some depth.
- The brown butter chocolate chip was buttery goodness with semi-sweet chocolate chips that were still plenty sweet. I had to use restraint not to eat the whole bag.
I also tried the Vegan Chocolate Brownie Mix ($8.99 for a 17.5 oz. bag). It made some awesome brownies that were very hard to detect as gluten-free and vegan. Mightylicious also sells Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour ($8.99) and Vegan All Purpose Flour ($8.99).
In Madison, you can purchase Mightylicious products at Hy-Vee, Whole Foods and Costco.
