Van’s Gluten Free Pancakes, Waffles and French Toast Review and Giveaway

I ran across Van’s Natural Foods on Twitter. I had no idea they made wheat and gluten free frozen breakfast products: waffles, pancakes, and French toast sticks. I was so pleased to find their products in my local grocery stores (Von’s/Safeway, Raley’s, and Whole Foods Market. Their wheat and gluten free products are also dairy-free and egg-free. While I wasn’t able to find all of their wheat and gluten free products (they make other products, as well), I did try a few, and they were fantastic! THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED.

The best part about their products, for me, is that they do not contain tapioca flour/starch, which I have discovered I am allergic. The textures are light; the flavors are bountiful; even their instructions are clear and easy. I was very pleased! For those allergic to corn, this is not a concern, other than the xanthan gum in their wheat free & gluten free pancakes. The Cinnamon French Toast Sticks and all flavors of their waffles contain guar gum, which is corn-free. My faves are the All Natural.

For those who are gluten intolerant you’ll be happy to know that Van’s Wheat & Gluten Free Products are certified gluten free by the GFCO (Gluten Free Certification Organization), subsidiary of GIG (Gluten Intolerance Group of North America). They certify that the products contain less than 10 ppm (parts per million) gluten from cross-contamination. The FDA’s suggested limit is under 20 ppm. Thank you Van’s for such a high quality gluten free product!

Van’s was not only generous in providing me with free coupons to try their products, but is sponsoring a giveaway for free product coupons to two lucky winners. Check the ingredients lists below and enter this fantastic giveaway! Good luck!

  8. I used to be where’s the “Breakfast served all day” diner-finding Queen, (that’s why)! <:}

  11. Please enter me in the Gluten Free Giveaway for Van’s Natural frozen products. We love Van’s gluten free waffles and we would like to try their other products. We are a family of 4 on a strict gluten free diet. We are always looking for ways to save money on groceries. Thank You.

  14. Definitely want to enter! I’ve been allergic to wheat since I had long-term mold exposure 3 years ago. It threw my whole system out of whack. Frozen waffles used to be my go-to breakfast, and I was excited when I first tried Van’s a couple of years ago. The store I normally shop at only carries natural and blueberry waffles – glad to see so many other varieties are made as well. Looks like I’ll be venturing out to other stores soon to look for the flax, apple cinnamon, and buckwheat. The French toast sticks sounds so good, too.
    Thanks for offering the giveaway!

  16. I just found your website. Please enter me in the Van’s contest. I have eaten Van’s gf waffles in the past and love the blueberry ones.

  19. I would like to have coupons for vans my daugther and I love the frozen breakfast.

  50. I would love to win to be able to stock our freezer with easy, fast breakfasts for this hectic time of year!:)

  55. I love gluten free Van’s, great quality and a nice treat. I would love to win, thanks for the giveaway.

  57. I love Van’s waffles, but don’t have access to the pancakes or french toast sticks where I live. I haven’t had a piece of good french toast for over 5 years and look forward to the opportunity to try them!

  69. I’d like to be entered into this giveaway, please. I have been gluten free for over a year and love the taste of VANS waffles. I have never tried some of the products offered and would love to try them. They are not offered in my area, but would be willing to ask for them at my local supermarket if they were just as delicious as the other products I’ve tried. Thank you for the opportunity!

  83. I want to be entered into the Van’s contest because I love their waffles! It’s a great breakfast for me when I am working from home. :)

  85. I have seen this product in my local grocery store, but have never purchased it. I would love to try it.

  86. Please enter me for the Van’s Giveaway. I love Van’s products and could really use some coupons since that’s the only kind of waffles I buy & I love their pancakes. Next I want to try the French Toast Sticks, didn’t think they were egg free too !!!!

  88. Just left a comment on your chocolate doughnut recipe. It was short, but I was drooling because they look SO GOOD. So, it’s kind of not my fault it was a short comment. ;-)

  102. I just created a Pinterest account, just to follow you! But not in a creepy, stalker kind of way. ;-)

  106. Please enter me in the contest to win the Van’s coupons. I’m on a tight budget, and can normally only afford Van’s when it gets marked down for clearance at my local grocery store. But I LOVE their products! My niece is wheat-free, and I’m campaigning for everyone to go GF, and these are a GREAT argument against the “Everything GF tastes nasty” comments I have to listen to. =D

  113. I would love to try the cinnamon french toast sticks, a great breakfast on a cold winter’s day!

  115. I’d love to win this! When you’re in a rush it’s hard to make GF pancakes or waffles for yourself. this solves the problem. I’d love the all natural.

  126. I want to enter your giveaway because these waffles are the best.
    I saw them in the store one day and gave them a try and now every time I feel like having waffles I ask for these.

  137. I love Van’s waffles! Sometimes I want something for breakfast besides eggs or cold cereal, but I don’t feel like going to the trouble of making homemade waffles or pancakes. These are so simple to make and they taste just like non-gluten free frozen waffles. The blueberry are my absolute favorite. I’d love to have my freezer stocked up!!

  139. Please enter me in the Van’s Gluten Free Waffle Giveaway. I just tried these for the first time last week not expecting much but to my surprise they were very, very good ( I tried the blueberry waffles) . Would love to try some of the other flavors. Thanks.
