You’ve probably considered buying one but the price likely stops you. Elevated baking mixes cost more than your regular box of generic pancake mix and you’re likely wondering if these $10 versions are worth it. I won’t lie to you, some aren’t worth the money but I’ve done the delicious research so I like to think I know the best from the, well, crap. Don’t get me wrong, I can certainly get behind indulging in a box of $2 brownies but when you’re looking for something a bit better, these are the baking mixes to turn to.

There is a variety of flavours available from buttermilk, vanilla, chocolate, and even chocolate chip. Trust me — a healthy breakfast has never been so delicious

Did I forget to mention that they’re specially formulated for baking on the grill? Seriously! It’s never been easier to make a batch of cinnamon rolls, dinner rolls, and even grilled cheese pancakes!

Stellar Eats
For healthy eats that taste like treats, you’ll want to reach for a bag of Stellar Eats. You honestly wouldn’t even know that these mixes are gluten, grain, and dairy-free as well as plant-based and paleo-friendly. It’ll be a hard choice between the pizza crust mix, brownie mix, and cookie mix to name just a few so my advice is to snag them all!
Williams-Sonoma
We all know that Williams-Sonoma is home to baking tools, cookbooks, and all the kitchen and home supplies you could ever want but did you know the retailer also offers delicious mixes, too? WS has a variety of baking mixes that taste homemade so no one would ever be the wiser at your next dinner party.

Stonewall Kitchen
From pancake mixes, doughnut mixes to cornbread, soup mixes, and even whoopie pie mix — Stonewall Kitchen has it all and yes, it’s super tasty. The Maine-based brand is known for its selection of gourmet chutneys, jams, and spreads but the baking mixes are equally as delicious. The brand is available for purchase at lots of grocery stores nationwide so don’t skip a gander the next time you’re cruising the aisles.
Bob’s Red Mill
Thought Bob’s Red Mill only made gluten-free oats and almond meal? Think again because the Oregon-based brand offers much more. Start your day with the brand’s gluten-free blueberry muffin mix or make your avo toast on a loaf of 10-grain bread, made with their mix of course. Don’t forget dessert because the gluten-free pie crust mix is begging to be used in your next pie this summer!
