Little Northern Bakehouse Gluten Free Breads

Finding gluten free bread that does not crumb, crumble, or taste like cardboard has long been a challenge for Canadians following a gluten free lifestyle. Little Northern Bakehouse set out to transform the gluten free bakery landscape by adopting a simple philosophy: be a great bakery first. Their line of sliced breads, specialty loaves, bagels, and buns offers the soft bounce, golden crust, and rich flavour profile that traditional bread lovers crave.

Plant Based and Allergy Friendly Baking

One major distinction of Little Northern Bakehouse products is their commitment to clean, plant based ingredients. Many standard gluten free commercial brands rely heavily on eggs, dairy, or soy binders to replicate the elasticity of gluten. Little Northern Bakehouse avoids those common allergens completely, making every loaf:

Certified Gluten Free: Audited and certified by both the Gluten-Free Certification Program (GFCP) and the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO).

100% Plant Based & Vegan: Egg free and dairy free, making them ideal for plant based diets and dairy sensitivities.

Free From Top Allergens: Made without peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, coconut, or sesame.

Non-GMO Project Verified: Crafted using non-genetically modified whole grains and ingredients.

Product Varieties Available in Canada

Whether you are preparing a quick morning toast, packing a child’s school lunch, or crafting an stacked double decker sandwich, Little Northern Bakehouse provides options tailored to every taste preference:

• Wide Sliced White Bread: A classic family favourite featuring generous, sandwich sized slices. Soft, airy, and light with a tender crumb that holds up beautifully to heavy spreads and deli slices without tearing.
• Wide Sliced Whole Grain Bread: Packed with wholesome plant goodness, offering a subtle nutty flavour and nutrient dense bite that pairs perfectly with savoury sandwich fillings.
• Millet & Chia Bread: Formulated with nutrient rich whole millet and chia seeds, providing a delicate crunch and smooth, satisfying texture packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids and fibre.
• Seeds & Grains Bread: A hearty loaf bursting with crunchy pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and flaxseed for whole grain texture in every bite.
• Cinnamon Raisin Bread: Naturally sweetened with sweet raisins and aromatic cinnamon, making morning breakfast toasts an absolute delight.

Taste, Texture, and Kitchen Usability

What sets Little Northern Bakehouse apart on Canadian grocery shelves is its texture both straight from the bag and fresh out of the toaster.

Un-toasted Performance: Unlike traditional dense gluten free loaves that require immediate heavy toasting to be palatable, Little Northern Bakehouse slices are soft and pliable directly at room temperature. You can fold a slice for a quick sandwich without it cracking down the middle.

Toasting Excellence: When toasted, the crust crisps up to a golden hue while maintaining a warm, fluffy interior. It absorbs butter, plant based spreads, avocado, or jam evenly without becoming rock hard.

Freezer to Table Flexibility: Loaves are typically sold in the frozen bakery section or fresh bakery section across major retailers like Walmart Canada. Store them in your freezer for up to 6 months, and simply thaw slices as needed at room temperature for 10 minutes or pop them straight into the toaster.
