Goodie Girl

When she was a few years old, we found out my niece has a gluten allergy.  This was a first for the family, particularly one with a diet soooo based in gluten-full carbs and grandma (my mom) an avid baker.  My mother has embraced the challenge of finding her every available safe snack, breakfast item, baked good, brand of mac and cheese, etc, which is no simple feat in a small town in NH, and is slowy learning to bake with gluten-free flours too.

Her journeys into the gluten-free world have meant that I've of course gotten to try lots of snack foods that I'd never normally seek out, such as products from Goodie Girl, and entirely gluten-free and kosher brand.

Goodie Girl has a number of product lines, all packaged items, such as many styles of cookies and some breakfast bars.

Breakfast biscuits are available in just two flavors: blueberry or cinnamon brown sugar.  These are essentially the same as BelVita breakfast biscuits, which I've reviewed before, but, the gluten-free version obviously.  I found it amusing that they even take the same large oval shape.  Their other breakfast bar product line, softer breakfast bars, come in 4 varieties (blueberry and cinnamon brown sugar again, or strawberry or chocolate/banana/almond), again much like BelVita's soft baked line.  I tried only the biscuits.

Blueberry Breakfast Biscuits.

"Start your day with some blues! Goodie Girl Blueberry Breakfast Biscuits are sweet, crunchy morning snacks made with blueberries and whole grain gluten-free oats to help provide nutritious energy for your morning routine."

My package contained 3 of the biscuits.

Again, just like BelVita, they are crispy biscuits, akin to graham crackers almost but thicker, loaded with a bit more grains/oats to deem them breakfast worthy, and flavored. I found them very sweet after a few bites.  They are also pretty dry to just eat straight from the package, but they do soften nicely when you dunk them in coffee like biscotti, and I also like dunking them in yogurt.  The blueberry was minimal, but I did taste the little dried blueberries if I really tried.

So on their own, too sweet, too dry, but, dunked in coffee or tangy yogurt and they aren't bad if in the mood for a biscuit for breakfast (or perhaps a mid-morning coffee snack).  3/5.
