Have you heard of them? I bet you have. But have you tried their products? You should!

Just in case you aren't familiar with this producer of gourmet naturals, Bakery on Main is a Connecticut bakery whose founder heard and listened to his customer's requests for healthful, tasty, gluten-free, allergy-friendly options. Bakery on Main bakes their gluten-free offerings in a dedicated bakery and conducts in-house testing for gluten on every batch of baked goods that they produce. 

Bakery On Main produces gluten-free bars and granolas that make you forget about whether or not what you're eating contains gluten and help you remember what delicious bars and granola can taste like!

I was so happy when Christine contacted me requesting a product review - and even happier when my package of goodies arrived! So, let's dig in!

We started with the bars (pictured above), with everyone sampling and making notes on each selection, then I combined and summarized those comments for you below...

The Peanut Butter Granola Bar has an excellent peanutty taste with lots of chocolate and a nice crunchy texture. An all around favorite in my house!

The Extreme Trail Mix Bar may win you over just from opening up the package with a sweet buttery aroma that really comes through in every bite. This toffee-flavored bar is packed with dried fruits and a variety of nuts and is enhanced by its crisp texture. This bar packs extreme flavor into every bite!

The Cranberry Maple Nut Granola Bar really brings the cranberry flavor in every bite, with a sweet maple nuttiness that is sure to satisfy. It seems that everyone kept coming back to this bar and commenting on the intriguing sweet/tart chewiness of the cranberries - yum!

If a more soft and chewy bar is your preference, Bakery on Main offers three Soft & Chewy Gluten Free Granola Bars: Peanut Butter & Jelly, Chocolate Almond, and Apple Cinnamon.

The Peanut Butter & Jelly is enhanced with healthful oats, quinoa, chia and flax seeds and has bits of strawberry throughout for a sweet peanutty bar.

For the chocolate lover, the Chocolate Almond bar contains a healthful mix of gluten-free grains and seeds with excellent almond flavor and mini chocolate chips throughout.

And if you're craving a slice of homemade apple pie, you must try the Apple Cinnamon Granola Bar, and it will be certain to satisfy. With dried apple and a blend of healthful oats, seeds, and grains, and a mild cinnamon flavor, this bar is flavorful and delicious! (This was my favorite!!)

But there's more...Check out all the flavors of gluten-free granola offered by Bakery On Main:

These granolas are fabulous! One of the repeat comments from my family on this line of granola was that they are crisp, yet not hard and too crunchy (haven't you had granola that was overly crunchy?). The cornflakes in a couple of the flavors were a huge hit with us, and everyone had their own favorite, but we agreed that we love them all!

We tried the following flavors (and our comments follow):

Nutty Cranberry Maple Granola - this granola shares that wonderful sweet/tart combination that the Cranberry Maple Nut Granola Bar has, but also has those outstanding little cornflakes throughout!

The Maple Raisin Walnut Granola is full of fruit and nuts, and has a hint of cinnamon. Maple is never a bad idea, but is particularly delicious in this granola!

For a fresh and fruity granola, try the Triple Berry Granola - with its rich oaty flavor and the fresh taste of blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries, I found this granola to be the perfect addition to my morning Rice Chex cereal!

Along with the Triple Berry Granola, the Cinnamon Raisin Granola contains extra fiber, if that is a consideration in your diet. The raisins in this variety of granola are some of the most plump and juicy I have ever tasted!

And finally, the Extreme Fruit & Nut Granola was tagged "Best Granola Ever" by my gang! Those crispy cornflakes show up again in this one!

I'm including a few additional pics of the granola below so that you can get a good idea of how fabulous these granolas look!

Overall, I love these products. In every single item that my family tasted, we all agreed that there is absolutely no question that Bakery On Main uses the freshest, highest quality ingredients. The flavors in each item really come through as you would expect they should, and you can truly taste the quality and care in these small-batch products. And all of their products are created with healthful eating in mind, containing no trans fats, no cholesterol, no gluten or wheat. They are also dairy and casein free, low in sodium and saturated fat. At Bakery On Main, healthy tastes good!

Thank you to Bakery On Main for all the bars and granolas, and for the opportunity to share this review with all of you!
