The Best Gluten Free Chips, Pretzels and Crackers

Image
This post was originally published April 9, 2015 and is regularly updated as I discover new snacks which displace others on the list. Without further adieu, here are the best gluten free chips, pretzels and crackers I've found so far: #1 - Luke's MultiGrain & Seed Crackers - Chia Seed Recent find at our local Costco The hubby spotted these at CostCo last weekend. Billed as Organic & Gluten Free, these chips taste like a whole grain corn chip. They are lightly salted and crispy and could easily hold a dip  like hummus or peanut butter and stand nicely on their own. These will be a regular purchase from now on - I hope Costco continues to carry them. The flour mix consists of brown rice, millet, quinoa, amaranth and potato and are dusted with chia and quinoa seeds. According to Luke's web site they also come in multi-seed, sea salt, bean & seed, black pepper and garden vegetable. Garden Vegetable sounds tasty - I hope I can find them somewhere.

If you've read any of my prior posts, you'll find many mentions of trying gluten free pizza offerings nationwide, as well as my attempts and eventual success at making a gluten free stuffed pizza.

I've made close to a dozen from-scratch recipes, tried pretty much every baking mix and prepared crust. I've also made many different sauces as well as tried a ton of pre-made sauces. Surprisingly, I ended up with all pre-made ingredients - the from-scatch sauces and crusts didn't beat the final winners. Here they are: Cru
