Krusteaz Expands Baking Mix Line To Include Gluten-Free Cinnamon Swirl Crumb Cake And Fire Roasted Cornbread

Krusteaz, maker of premium baking, pancake and waffle mixes, today announced the launch of two new products just in time for fall tables Gluten-Free Cinnamon Swirl Crumb Cake & Muffin Mix and Fire Roasted Cornbread & Muffin Mix. The new products bring more versatility to the Krusteaz line of delicious baking mixes, appealing to consumers following a variety of diets, as well as those interested in more complex flavor profiles.

With 28% of adults interested in cutting down or avoiding gluten completely 1, Krusteaz is thrilled to introduce a gluten-free version of its top selling Cinnamon Swirl Crumb Cake & Muffin Mix. The new gluten-free offering brings together the flavors of a coffee house and a scratch-made recipe, and is now the sixth member of the gluten-free Krusteaz family, which includes Gluten-Free Flour, Blueberry Muffin, Buttermilk Pancake, Double Chocolate Brownie and Honey Cornbread Mixes.

The second new addition to the Krusteaz line of bake products is the Fire Roasted Cornbread & Muffin Mix, which was inspired by the taste of Mexican-style street corn (Elote), a grilled ear of corn topped with cheese, chili, lime, mayonnaise and cilantro. Elote only appears on 1% of US menus, but with 45% of consumers interested in trying it 2, Krusteaz saw an opportunity to introduce consumers to Elote via a flavorful side dish. The mix is filled with whole roasted corn kernels, real cheese and a Mexican spice topping, and is certain to bring the flavor of Elote to kitchen tables across the country.

"These two new Krusteaz products give consumers what we know they want options. Whether it's the option to enjoy a delicious baked good without the gluten, for health or personal dietary reasons, or the option to enjoy a classic side dish with a flavorful twist, Gluten-Free Cinnamon Crumb Cake and Fire Roasted Cornbread are exciting additions to our ever-growing line of easy-to-make mixes. We know people are going to love them," said Andy Heily, President of Continental Mills.

Both new mixes are ready to bake with the addition of just three ingredients, and have a combined prep and cook time of under one hour so consumers can enjoy bold flavors in no time at all.
