CREATIVE NATURE LAUNCHES THEIR LATEST ALLERGEN FREE BAKING MIXES

Award-winning free from brand, Creative Nature which specialises in allergen free and vegan snacks, mixes and superfoods, has launched two new products – Simply Spiced Carrot Cake Loaf Mix and Quick & Easy Pancake & Waffle Mix.

These new products bring the baking mix range of the Surrey-based company to seven. The others are: cacao rich chocolate cake; a chocolate brownie bake; a chocolate chip muffin mix; a chia & mulberry muffin mix and a banana bread mix.

Julianne Ponan, Creative Nature’s CEO, said: “We are so thrilled to introduce our new baking mixes ready for summer. We’ve been working on them behind the scenes for months and we’re thrilled that they will be tasty for everyone – as well as being free of the top 14 allergens.”

Creative Nature, whose HQ is in West Molesey, is already well established in the ‘free from’ food market. In 2018 the company won the national title of Small Business of the Year (FSB) and its snack bars have won more Great Taste Gold Stars than any other cold-pressed range. Their previous baking mix – Cacao Rich Chocolate Mix – won a major Taste award within weeks of launch.

Major retail brands such as Asda, the Co-op and Sainsbury’s already stock their products. The team also exports to 11 countries worldwide.

Originally creating the recipes from her home kitchen, owner Julianne Ponan was drawn to making her own healthy snacks out of frustration at the lack of nut-free products in the market that weren’t packed with additives – or were tasteless. As a sufferer of anaphylaxis to all nuts, some seeds and certain additives, the best way forward was to create her own.

The new mixes are available online via the company’s website and on Amazon. For more information visit https://www.creativenaturesuperfoods.co.uk
