NUM Gourmet Desserts- America's Favorite Gluten Free Desserts

100% GF bakery with Croissants, Muffins, Cookies, Danishes, Bread and more

I am gluten sensitive but cheat about once a week. I saw this bakery for the first time accidentally and was going to stop in and eat a wheat cookie since I had just had a wheat meal. To my surprise, and dismay, it was a gluten free bakery. I HATE gluten-free substitutes. However, I have to say, these dessert cookies and bars are all sugar and gluten free. I'm not sure how they sweeten them, with monk fruit or what... but they are well balanced with sweetness. At least the peanut butter cookies are. My complaints about typical gluten free desserts is that they usually have a base of rice, which is sweet, then they put in the same amount of sugar that they would normally add to a wheat flour, which is savory. If you are going to use rice flour, you need to lower the sugar. Well, this place does use a sugar substitute, I assume, but instead of hitting you in the face with sweetness....they are very subtly sweet, like the desserts in Europe. Well done! I'm not sure what flours they use, but it's likely on their website. I did try the Black Forest bar. The bar itself was not sweet at all, but only the icing was. It was a lot sweeter than I like, but normal people will consider it a normal sweetness. I prefer the cookies and already stopped in a second time.
