Humble Beginnings

Simple Mills strives to do just what the name suggests; make food simple. Their gluten-free pancake mix is a perfect example of that philosophy. Made with just 8 ingredients, it is grain-free, dairy-free, and paleo-friendly. It has no GMOs or other artificial ingredients. Just add water and a hot griddle; in a few minutes, you’ll have a delicious breakfast.

Simple Mills was founded by Katlin Smith when she was in her early 20s. Katlin was trying to cut sugar and processed foods out of her diet, but was disappointed by a lack of options. She decided to take matters into her own hands. Armed with an oven and numerous excel spreadsheets, she set about crafting recipes in her own kitchen.

She was amazed at how her new diet made her feel; gone was her chronic fatigue, her joint pain, and her seasonal allergies. Katlin decided to go all-in and commit to food full time. Since then her company has won multiple awards, including the University of Chicago’s New Venture Challenge and Chapman University’s California Dreamin’ Business Competition. “We believe food has the power to transform how you feel,” she says. “We’re passionate about harnessing that power.”

Grain-Free and Delicious

Simple Mills gluten-free pancake mix is perfect for those with a gluten intolerance, but it’s also great for anyone who wants to eat cleaner. It doesn’t sacrifice flavor either; the pancakes are as tender and fluffy as any diner flapjack. With 180 calories and just 7 grams of carbs, plus 5 grams of protein, they are easy to fit into a low-calorie or low-carb diet. It’s made with almond and coconut flour for added nutrition, and naturally sweetened with coconut sugar to keep calories low. Plus, it’s versatile; it can be made into pancakes or waffles. It’s also entirely plant-based, non-GMO project verified, and paleo and vegan-friendly.
