Loving Bread Again! -- Canyon Bakehouse Review

Disclosure:  I received one or more products in this post in exchange of an honest review.  All opinions are my own.

It has been a struggle for me to find a bread that I can enjoy that is Gluten Free.  Usually I am finding  that GF breads crumble in my mouth as I am chewing them.  Sometimes to the extent that I feel I need to spit out what has just turned to mush while I was eating it.  If you can imagine what grits look like, yeah… There you go!   


Our mission is simple. We want you to LOVE BREAD AGAIN. Our family is gluten-free and we are passionate about making real food with wholesome, clean ingredients. We bake bread the old fashioned way and use only 100% whole grains. From our family bakehouse in the Colorado Rocky Mountains to your kitchen, enjoy eating without compromise. Please reach out and let us know what you think.

Canyon Bakehouse gave my family a chance to try 4 of their products.   There are many options for you to try, but I am so pleased!  They sent me 3 types of bread, Mountain White bread, 7-Grain bread and Cinnamon Raisin bread.  The fourth product sent was Cranberry Canyon Crunch Muffins!


I have been enjoying the cinnamon raisin bread for breakfast most days since I received these breads in the mail!  The texture is very close to a normal bread and the flavor is delicious.  While I am glad to see the label Gluten Free on the package, the bread is playing tricks with my mind!  My mind thought it would not be too great and I like it so much.  Some days I have a little butter and some I add some grape jelly!  


The little bits of raisin are so great!  Pockets of cinnamon add just enough spice so your taste buds will be asking you for more!  This bread is great straight out of the bag or toasted!  My new favorite breakfast, for sure!

The Mountain White and 7-Grain breads has put a smile on my face a time or two!  I typically don't purchase Gluten Free bread in the store because it always disappoints.  There have been a few that could pass as "I might eat this again," but most are horrendous!  That is not the result with Canyon Bakehouse!  Canyon Bakehouse is soft on the inside, crusty on the outside, and the best part -- It doesn't turn to nasty disintegrated mush in my mouth while I'm eating it!  Both breads are made with whole grains and are quite filling!  


Finally I want to tell you about the Cranberry Canyon Crunch Muffins!  First let me tell you, I haven't had a muffin in about a year.  When I was diagnosed with Gluten Intolerance, I stopped eating all the yummy pastries, breads and other yummy foods I was taking for granted.  Finding the Cranberry Canyon Crunch Muffins in my box was a big deal to me!  


This muffin is filling, tasty and smells great!  I paired mine with a little butter after I warmed it up in the microwave!  I'm telling you, You have to try these muffins!

It turns out that I really missed bread!  Thank goodness Canyon Bakehouse reminded me of how delicious bread really is!  If you have to eat Gluten Free or simply have sworn off Gluten for other reasons, please check out this company!  You won't be sorry!

  2. This is a great option for those of us who can't have gluten or dairy. I have never seen this bread in our bakery section. I went to check out their website but it was unavailable at the moment so I liked their Facebook page and will look further into this later. Thank you for sharing.

  9. I hope I can find Canyon Bakehouse in a store near me I live in Michigan but in a small town with a wallmart and a hardings and Meijers. I really hope I can find the cinnamon bread I would love to try it. Gluten free has really come a long in terms of taste in terms of breads.

  13. I haven't been eating bread because it just makes me blah - drains out my energy. I am suspecting a gluten issue, so I'll try this one out and see how it goes.

  16. That cinnamon raisin bread sounds really delicious! I have tried several gluten free breads and I didn't like them at all.

  17. I am not gluten free, but I am trying to eat clean and healthy and so this would definitely be something that I'd be interested in. We don't have great gluten free products in Trinidad, it sucks...I so wish they had this bread down here. Your review is incredible, makes me want to buy it now.
