Health food masquerading as delicious snacks

Health food masquerading as delicious snacks
Let's be clear, here--I'm a from-scratch baker. I like to bake, and I like to know exactly what's in the foods I'm feeding my kids. So when I first came across the baking mixes from Matisse & Jack's, I thought maybe they'd be good... for people who rely on box mixes.

But here's the thing: Not only are all four varieties of baking mix all-natural and protein-packed, they really do taste like homemade. And being able to whip 'em up in about five minutes is handy when I'm too busy for a full baking session.

There's nary a trace of that weird aftertaste you might expect from healthy foods either. Honestly, I have no idea how they made a delicious brownie with 6 grams of protein and no aftertaste, but I'm too busy wrestling my children for the the last one to care. -Mir
