Little Northern Bakehouse Gluten-Free Bread is Allergy-Friendly and Vegan

Little Northern Bakehouse is run by the same parent company as Silver Hills Bakery Sprouted Bread, but they focus exclusively on gluten-free bread. Their bakery is located in Canada, but they sell throughout North America and have grown to produce quite an expansive line of loaves and buns. And unlike most other gluten-free bakeries, they don’t use eggs! Little Northern Bakehouse Gluten-Free Bread is top allergen-free and vegan (except for honey in one of the loaves).

Tasting Notes for Little Northern Bakehouse

According to Little Northern Bakehouse, their gluten-free bread doesn’t need toasting! We sampled it, and I agree that it isn’t bad straight up. The texture is relatively soft and pleasant, but we still enjoyed it toasted even more. We’ve tried their three flagship breads. I’ve included full details for those, followed by a quick list of their other breads.

Cinnamon & Raisin

This has a very pleasant flavor! Mild warm cinnamon notes, a very light sweetness, and the perfect amount of plump raisins. The texture is indeed soft and delicious without toasting. There’s only a slight telltale hint in the texture that it isn’t wheat (seems like a hint of brown rice flour). I’ve always liked untoasted bread best, so this is a real treat! That said, when toasted, it’s spot on for texture and the warm cinnamon notes burst just a little more when heated.

Ingredients: water, gluten-free flour blend (modified tapioca starch, potato starch, corn starch, brown rice flour), raisins, sugars (dextrose, cane sugar), sunflower oil, psyllium husk, yeast, pea fibre, modified cellulose, salt, rice bran, cultured cane sugar, cellulose gum, cinnamon.

Nutrition (per slice): 80 calories, 1.5g fat, 16g carbs, 2g fiber, 4g sugars (includes 2g added sugars), 1g protein.*

Millet & Chia

This is very much like “normal” bread, but with its own mild flavor flair. The taste is slightly bitter and gently sweet, but overall, it’s fairly neutral. The nice texture of the Cinnamon & Raisin is duplicated in this flavor.

Ingredients: water, gluten-free flour blend (modified tapioca starch, potato starch, corn starch, brown rice flour), sugars (dextrose, cane sugar), sunflower oil, psyllium husk, yeast, modified cellulose, pea fibre, salt, whole millet, whole chia seeds, rice bran, cultured cane sugar, cellulose gum, vinegar.

Nutrition (per slice): 80 calories, 2g fat, 16g carbs, 2g fiber, 2g sugars (includes 2g added sugars), 1g protein.*

Seeds & Grains

Dotted with all types of little grains and seeds for interest, this loaf had a slightly heartier vibe. Yet, it still had a light, white bread feel. I enjoyed the flavor, which was a little warmer than the Millet & Chia.

Ingredients: water, gluten-free flour blend (modified tapioca starch, potato starch, corn starch, brown rice flour), seed and grain mix (sunflower seeds, whole millet, brown rice, flax seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds), sugars (dextrose, cane sugar), sunflower oil, psyllium husk, yeast, pea fibre, modified cellulose, salt, rice bran, cultured cane sugar, cellulose gum, vinegar.

Nutrition (per slice): 90 calories, 2.5g fat, 16g carbs, 2g fiber, 2g sugars (includes 2g added sugars), 1g protein.*

Great quality

The price is a little steep, but they go above and beyond in accommodating special diet needs with “traditional” taste and texture. It’s one of the better gluten-free breads that we’ve tried, and we’ve tried a lot of them!
