If you like to eat breakfast for dinner like me, you’ll appreciate the ease of the latest product from Birch Benders. Birch Benders pancake mix has always been a favorite of mine [specifically: paleo, gluten free]. Well now, they’ve added waffles to the line-up! Hooray!
That’s right find Birch Benders Homestyle, Buttermilk, Protein and Paleo waffles in the frozen food aisle! (Although, in my local Sprouts they only have the Homestyle and Protein.) I am going to request the Paleo waffles, because they are my fav!

In order to check out the latest products from Birch Benders, we went straight to the source! A few of us local Denver bloggers were lucky enough to taste them for ourselves at a hands on event at the Birch Benders headquarters. We had a blast doing it too!
The evening started out with the Birch Benders marketing team talking to us about the BB name (named after a childhood tree experience), the products and the ingredients. We got a quick Birch Benders history – and I learned that they have a Pumpkin Spice Paleo pancake mix… um where have you been in the last few years that I have been loyal to Birch Benders?!
After the introductions, we snacked on some adorable pancake skewered appetizers.
Aren’t these mini flapjacks just too cute to eat? Well, they were too cute too eat. And then we ate them… because duh, delicious baby pancakes with berries.
Check out this clever combination of banana paleo mini pancakes with strawberry, almond butter and sliced almonds. Great combination. I couldn’t stop myself from eating a few of these. I barely stopped myself from eating ALL of these. It was hard to share.
After some snacks, we got to make our own waffle dessert (or in my case, dinner). The folks at Birch Benders had a Pinterest-worthy set up for us to dig into. There were various dairy free and full dairy ice cream options. Tons of toppings like fruit, sprinkles, chocolate chips and nuts. Then top the whole thing off with drizzles like almond butter, caramel and chocolate. It was amazing.
I mean do you see this spread of waffle toppings we got to work with?
We all had a blast designing our dessert waffles. What a creative group of blogging ladies – and one fella {hi, Dave!}. Since I skipped dinner that night on accident (too much socializing – not enough eating), this ice cream waffle sandwich was my main meal that evening. No regrets.
Yes, it was as good as it looks.
Find the new Birch Benders frozen waffles and all the amazing blends of Birch Benders pancake mix at my favorite grocery store, Sprouts! Of course you can find it other places too, but Sprouts is the coolest of them all. So there’s that.
