I've never been a fan of packet mixes, not sure I've ever bought one (actually, not entirely true, 4 years ago I bought a biscuit kit for the In The Night Garden cutters in the box, but threw away the mix), but I'm aware some people do and find them easier than weighing out mixes.
Given the lack of suitable 'free from' products available off-the-shelf for multiple allergies, I was intrigued when I found Hale & Hearty cake mixes in Sainsbury's (some are now available from Ocado too). Ingredients looked good (Milk, Egg, Soya and Wheat Free), but instructions involved adding eggs and milk.
I then set about the surprisingly satisfying task of adapting the instructions to make them suitable. Suffice to say, they are now a store cupboard staple. Very easy to use AND fantastic results. Chocolate Raspberry Brownies went down particularly well on Cake Thursday at work.
Here are a few samples of what I have made so far:
Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix

| Lovely with frothy Oat Milk |
Double Chocolate Muffin Mix
 |
| Chocolate Banana Muffins |
 |
| Orange Star Cake to take to a birthday party |
Rich Chocolate Brownie Mix
 |
| Raspberry and Hazelnut Brownie |
Ok, so I still couldn't bring myself to just leave the mix alone...
Quick and Easy Pizza Mix makes great breadsticks and if you really don't want to cook, the Pure Oat Flapjack are individually wrapped and handy for snacks on the go.
I will get round to posting recipes eventually...
