I often hesitate labeling recipes “gluten-free” because I want my gluten-friendly readers to make things too, BUT in this instance, I’m going to stick that GF on there because, we’ve been making these easy and delicious cookies for several months now and Kensington loves them! If you can consume gluten, totally sub out your cake mix with a regular one, and they’ll be delish too! Either way, nothing says September like a little apple cookie.
Enjoy! xo

These look great and easy! My husband was diagnosed with celiac last Friday. I’ve spend the week re-reading all of your posts about when Kenzie was diagnosed and transforming your kitchen. Thank you for sharing! It has been so helpful this past week! 2 things we are struggling with- a good GF wrap. My hubby eats turkey wraps for lunch every single day and so far the GF ones have been disappointing. And 2- a GF coffee cake (it’s our Christmas morning tradition and I’m already nervous about ruining it)

Oh goodness, I’m so sorry that you guys are going through this. I will say that wraps are not the same g-free. We have been using Trader Joe’s GF tortillas and they’re pretty good (not like ‘normal’ though). I’m sorry!

My daughter is GF and we found some amazing GF tortillas made out of coconut flour. The lady is just at a booth at a farmers market in the parking lot of Willowbend mall in Plano on Saturday mornings. (I think it is on the NW corner of the mall). You have to try them!! In my opinion, they are so close to real tortillas! Her company is called “The Salsa Texan”. Go find her 🙂
Kelley says
Thank you both! These are great options!
Kim says
What kind of GF cake mix do you use and where do you buy it? Thanks!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Pillsbury makes a great one! It’s not gritty or grainy at all!
Jess says
Thanks for this. My son was just diagnosed with celiac and it’s been a challenge finding recipes that all 4 of my kids will eat!

I need the details on the black denim top you are wearing in your stories today (Friday)! ??? Please and thank you!
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s from ShopBop! The brand is Rails. I linked it in my Stories too! Have a great weekend!

I’m shrinking in my chair as I’m typing this because we are just coming off of your podcast about how you and Erika eat well and try to make healthy food choices. However, 🙂 we make similar cookies every year in the fall but we add one more thing. Mix a little powdered sugar and some milk to form a thin frosting. Shay, if you have a cheat day, drizzle some over the cookies and you just might thank me. Yummy, yummy!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yay!!! Thank YOU, Linda!! Happy Friday!
Kelly Davis says
I am so thankful for the gf recipes… my daughter is gluten free, and home for the semester, and I was recently diagnosed celiac. Ugh! I think you recommended a four to substitute equally in baking, and wonder if you could share that again. And I would love any updates on great products you have found – actually would love any suggestions at all!
Mix and Match Mama says
I’ve decided that my favorite is Namaste GF Flour. I buy it off of Amazon. Out of all of the ones I’ve tried (and I’ve tried so many!), it seems to work the best!
Kelly Davis says
Thank you so much! I ordered cup to cup last week, and am going to make pumpkin bread with it today, but will add this to my amazon cart for next time! Thanks for sharing all your GF tips!
Jessica says
The Trader Joe’s gf coffee cake muffins might be a good Christmas morning option. They’re delicious!
LC says
Can you do a post on GF school lunch options?
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes! K eats a lot of leftovers.
