Under the same parent company as Silver Hills Bakery Sprouted Bread, Little Northern Bakehouse focuses exclusively on gluten-free bread, which they claim that it doesn’t need toasting!
Positioned in British Columbia, but distributed in both the U.S. and Canada, Little Northern Bakehouse offers a handful of gluten-free loaf varieties plus hamburger buns.
Tasting Notes for Little Northern Bakehouse
To date, I’ve only tried their three flagship breads, but the buns are reportedly made with the same bread as the Millet & Chia (details below).
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.
Millet & Chia
This is very much like “normal” bread, but with its own mild flavor flair. The flavor is slightly bitter, gently sweet, and overall fairly neutral. The nice texture of the Cinnamon & Raisin is duplicated in this flavor.
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.

I purchased the cinnamon raisin bread because I like to make sandwiches out of it. As soon as I finished eating I fell into a very deep sleep. I checked the ingredients and found out that they use potato, rice and corn flour, all of which contain magnesium. I was very disappointed.
I love this bread but I wonder if it can be eaten on a low carb diet.
I’m doubting it, but you can check the ingredients and nutrition facts. I’m not an expert on low-carb diets by any means. I like my bread 🙂

First time in over 10 years that I ate an entire sandwich without throwing away the gluten free bread half way through!!
The best gluten free Bread !!! Great taste and quality!!!
I would like to say we accidently found millet and chia buns and they were by the the best bread product I’ve had since having to go gluten free three years ago. Praying this store continues selling it. What a pleasant surprise!
That’s great! I know, that brand can be hard to find sometimes!
The best gluten-free bread I have ever tried. I like the seeded loaf toasted with real Amish butter. I am addicted to it!
It’s the best gluten free bread ever. Finally I can have a sandwich I can truly enjoy.
Best gluten free bread ever!!
Just tried a loaf of the bread and was amazed. It’s the best and I hope to see it in more stores in Edmonton.
Thanks for sharing your opinion on this product Barb. I’m hoping to see it more, too!
I happened upon this brand at our new Fresh Thyme a few weeks ago but now it’s gone. I must go back to find someone in the know because all of the gluten free breads are amazing.
Bummer! It’s still being produced. I would check in with the company, they should be able to help get it back in your town – http://www.littlenorthernbakehouse.com/
Were these an expo find? I’m really excited to hear about what you sampled there!
They were actually an Expo find last year, but it took me a while to get them in house to test out!
Ever since accidentally getting shockingly delicious gluten-free toast while traveling and eating out, I’ve been mildly obsessed with it. This looks like a fabulous option to try, especially the seeded loaf.
Yes, they’ve done quite a good job! Like you Hannah, I like the seedy action in my toast 🙂
