The Trader Joe's Baking Mix That Flaunts A Clean Ingredient List
BY STEPHANIE FRIEDMAN
Trader Joe's Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookie Baking Mix features a list of clean ingredients that are free of synthetics, preservatives, and artificial colors.
The mix contains almond flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar, semisweet chocolate chips (which contain some cane sugar), cocoa butter, and cocoa mass, which is a cocoa paste.
The only other ingredients are sea salt, baking soda, and tapioca starch, a gluten-free wheat alternative. The ever-mysterious "natural flavors" label is nowhere to be found.
As a bonus, this almond flour-filled baking mix is gluten-free and vegan. The instructions say to combine the powder with vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and your milk of choice.
