  • Tried it for the first time and it was delicious. Loved the texture and taste!

  • I've eaten the Gluten-free and protein ones many times, super easy super tasty.

  • I love trying out new gluten free products since I have family & friends who are celiac. Birch Benders has a great variety of products, and I like that they offer a mix rather than a premade, frozen waffle like some other brands. I feel like I can avoid the gritty/mealy/dry textures common in frozen waffles + GF products when I have a mix to work with. They taste great!

  • Nothing negative to say about this pancake mix. If you are a camper I highly recommend taking these along with you. One of those tried and true camping staples that only requires water. The variety of flavor offering means you won't get bored of eating them.

  • Loveee birchbenders!!! Seriously one of my favorite brands & I use the mixes for both pancakes and waffles. I use when I’m not making my sourdough pancakes

  • Birch has such a great variety and affordable. Made pancakes over the weekend for my family and these were so loved, so good and spongy. Regardless of what flavor you get I am sure you'll enjoy it.

  • This product was absolutely delicious as pancakes or waffles. This has a spongy texture that I enjoy pairing with bananas in the morning.

  • I love the variety of pancake mixes they have. This brand is kind of pricey for the amount of mixture you get. I got these on sale though so not too bad when I got them. My mom had the keto blend and I tried these at her house and I had mixed some cottage cheese into the mix for some more protein and they were pretty good. I grabbed the organic classic and buttermilk variety for myself. My boyfriend was a fan of them.

  • It was ok, I liked the buttermilk one.

  • I probably should have tried the classic buttermilk! I got the paleo version and I feel like it could use some more flavor. Definitely still a pancake but it’s just not really what I was looking for. Nice to have a grain free option though. I just don’t eat pancakes too often though so having a regular pancake once in a while on a weekend is fine with me.

  • It tastes delicious and very nostalgic, just like my grandmother’s recipe!

  • I'm always looking for ways to sneak more vegetables into my diet, so I purchased the sweet potato mix. The pancakes turned out great. They weren't too dense and had just the right amount of sweetness. My picky toddler even liked them. I'm looking forward to trying other flavors.

  • When these first launched I used to stack up in the US. Now, they’re available everywhere! Super filling without the gluten bloat or discomfort and EASY to make.

  • It’s quick and easy to make . Just add water and the batter is ready. I also tried waffles using the recipe mentioned on the package and both turned out great .

  • Soo Tasty!

  • This pancake mix was okay. It’s about double the price of the non-organic mixes available. I feel as though it would be a better value to make pancakes from scratch using organic ingredients instead. The texture of the pancakes is absolutely lovely. However, the pancakes have a very strong baking soda taste. I did make them a second time and use significantly more butter in the pan and it was slightly less noticeable. If you typically enjoy your pancakes with syrup or add-ins (chocolate, fruit, etc.), then I would say this product is worth a try. Furthermore, the packaging of the product is aesthetically pleasing, but I found the information on the back was less than helpful. The serving size does not specify if it is prepared mix or dry mix. There are no measurements listed with how many pancakes should be made. The bag says makes 5-6 pancakes per 3/4 cup of mix, but some measurement here would be extremely useful. 5-6 3” pancakes or something similar would suffice. Lastly, the instructions are not beginner friendly as there is no suggested time for flipping the pancakes. In the end, I probably won’t repurchase this mix, but will definitely use what I have left.

  • Love these pancake mixes! The best is buttermilk and I love throwing some frozen wild blueberries in when I'm mixing it up. It's so convenient and easy!

  • It’s great. Especially for those with a dairy allergy. You can enjoy pancakes Judy like everyone else.
