We have created yummy, full-flavored, natural-ingredient baking mixes so you can enjoy amazing, good-for-you, right-out-of-the-oven, healthier baked goodies--more whole grains with high fiber, high protein, more iron and potassium! It's really easy - most mixes only ask for 4 or less ingredients to be added. Best of all, you get to eat them warm right out of your own oven, where and when you want them!

All our products are made with uncompromised natural ingredients from the earth, using carefully selected, certified gluten-free, nut-free and dairy-free ingredient sources.

Welcome to the Products Page of Be Free Bakers!

The following is a selection of our best selling mixes and baked goods -- by no means an all-inclusive list of what Be Free Bakers can or has created! We can create something from scratch for you, such as customizing a mix to suit your unique allergies (take out the potato or rice flour, for instance), or whip up a batch of something completely unique just for you - for a party, wedding, gathering of friends, office party - you name it!

We offer sizes ranging from a mini-mix, a "just want to try it" or to "send a gift to a friend" to a 5 pound super-size mix for those who love to bake!

You may order online, by calling Jennifer at 816-803-1101 or simply sending an email to jennifer@befreebakers.com.

Be Free Bakers is a family-run business, born of a desire for delicious, healthy, allergen-free baked goods for our family, friends and neighbors. Simply finding one tasty cake, cupcake or muffin for a holiday or birthday party that everyone could share became nearly impossible as our friendships grew and everyone's allergies and intolerances became known. As recently as a year ago, there were three cakes at one birthday party! (One was gluten free, one vegan and one "traditional" - all were highly sugar-laden.)

Be Free Bakers began officially by selling at the "City Market" in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, in the River Market District. What a great success! The responses have been amazing, heartwarming, and full of great energy. Check out our testimonial page for just some of the many compliments and comments! We’ve had smiles, cheers, happy tears, repeat "breakfast" customers and loads of referrals. We’ve even had a request for a wedding (Espresso Brownies & Sun Butter Cookies). Thank you, City Market!

The goal of Be Free Bakers is to provide you with an absolutely delicious, good-for-you treat that anyone with or without an allergy can enjoy any time. We use only the highest quality ingredients purchased from companies with integrity. More than 50% of our ingredients are organic, and we’re striving to raise that number. The main ingredient in most of our products is whole grain teff flour, a high-protein, high-fiber, high-iron & potassium-content grain that was first cultivated in Ethiopia around 4,000 B.C.E. The reason we use teff is because of its incredible nutrient values and excellent baking properties.

We hope you’ll find that Be Free Bakers suits your family’s needs for delicious, healthy snacks at any time of day – for breakfast, with a cup of coffee or tea, as an afternoon snack or a decadent dessert!

Please contact us with any questions or requests or just to say hi! We love a challenge, so don’t hesitate to ask if you have a favorite that needs to be allergen free. We feel confident we'll be able to provide you with a healthy, tasty version of your favorite.!

Thank you for visiting Be Free Bakers.

Cheers!

Jennifer Ward

What people are saying about Be Free Bakers:

"These are the best vegan cookies I have ever had!"
Alicia, at the KC City Market

"This (your booth) is our regular Sunday breakfast spot! We love your products!"
Steve and John, KC City Market

"These taste like something my grandmother used to make in the 50's!"
Customer at KC City Market, Sept. '09

"I like the whole grain taste. So many people have become used to the white stuff, this is refreshing."
Customer at KC City Market, Sept. '09

"I only eat whole grains. These are the bomb! Don't change your recipes no matter what anyone says!"
Customer at KC City Market, Sept. '09

"Those of you who haven't stopped by the City Market really should. Jen's creations are wonderful. Even my very traditional, fat/dairy/ wheat loving husband agreed!"
Gina T., Kansas City, MO

"What are teffles? Whatever they are called, you can't tell they're gluten-free (or any other allergen-free, for that matter)!!"
Happy customer, KC City Market, talking about the double chocolate teffles he'd just tasted.

"The cupcake, though, I have to confess, I was going to just try a bite, then share it with the boys, but then I had another bite, then another...it was absolutely DEE-VINE. Wow, you have a winner."
Heidi S., Lees Summit, MO

"I don't have any problems with food allergies or intolerances, but I've had the pleasure of trying a number of Be Free Bakers products. I found them to be delicious and satisfying. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a healthy, tasty treat."
Alan Hudson, Chicago, Illinois

"I have known Jennifer for over 30 years, and if she says the products are good, they're good. If you don't believe it, I want to come talk to you. I'm her father, and I ought to know. She is honest about everything, well, except for that broken beer bottle on the stairs incident, but that was a long time ago. So try her stuff and keep an open mind."
Boppa, Milwaukee, WI

"I love sweets but I am very cautious about what I eat and what I feed my family. It's so hard to find healthy alternatives that taste good. But I think I have finally found my chocolate-fix with the Double Decadence Chocolate cookies. Very yummy!!!"
Andrea, Lee's Summit, MO

"I can't believe how good this is! Seriously? It's gluten free AND Vegan? No way! Wow!... Hey, hubby, you gotta try this stuff!!!" Happy customer, City Market


 

 


   THANKS GOES TO...

• My friends and family who have been listening to me talk about this business for years and trying my concoctions - some yummy, some not so yummy. Scott made me promise never again to make garbanzo bean chocolate chip soup! Oh, yeah... Those were the days! (Actually, in my defense, it was supposed to be chocolate chip cookies, but the ingredients chose not to cooperate! That was before I discovered Xanthan Gum!)
• Seriously, a huge thank you goes to my loving and ever patient and kind husband Scott - who persevered with me and encouraged me to start this business in the first place! Without his support, encouragement and sometimes tough love, I wouldn't even be doing this at all! Thanks Sweetie!
• To my parents, who encouraged me from a young age to not be afraid of anything, to always "go for it" when there was something out there in which I was interested or felt strongly about doing. This is one of those moments! Thank you!
• A special thanks to my "editor" and dear friend Alan Hudson, who has worked with me from the beginning to ensure not only that my grammar is correct, but who has been the most patient, intelligent and astute advisor anyone could ever wish to have!
• Of course, without my daughter and husband being allergic to gluten, nuts and dairy - and our dear friend Terri having serious corn allergies, this business wouldn't exist in its current form!
• It wouldn't be appropriate to omit my City Market customers and testers! Without you, my products wouldn't be vegan and I wouldn't have had anyone on whom to test my many creations! Thank you all for your feedback and continued support! It's amazing.
• Last, but certainly not least - to Brad, my web designer. You wouldn't even be reading this page or ordering anything from Be Free Bakers' Website without him. Brad is the mastermind behind this beautiful website and easy to use format. Thank you so much Brad - I appreciate your hard work!
Thank you to everyone! This business wouldn't exist without each of you participating. It is truly a family and community run operation and I am grateful.

Cheers!

Jennifer
