Hi, we’re Kelley & Jon Herring…
Welcome to our kitchen! We’re so grateful for you taking the time to visit.
When Wellness Bakeries started in 2005, there were no options for truly healthy baking mixes.
Everything was loaded with inflammatory grains, filled with fake fats and packed with sugar… or even worse, artificial sweeteners.
We still wanted to enjoy our favorite comfort foods… but NOT at the expense of our health!
There had to be a better – and MUCH healthier– way to make decadent desserts, chewy breads, crusty pizza, pillow-soft pancakes, crispy waffles and other sweet treats.
So, with our backgrounds in health research, nutritional biochemistry and recipe development, we set out to replace sugar, unhealthy fats and inflammatory, high-glycemic grains… with a new crop of functional foods and “intelligent ingredients”.
Our mission was to use grain-free flours, healthy, slimming fats and natural no-sugar sweeteners to match the taste, texture and flavor of our favorite comfort foods.
We knew the right formulas could transform these ingredients into sinfully delicious treats that would NOT sour our health… or expand the waistline!
And while it certainly wasn’t easy…
In 2008, Wellness Bakeries began offering our healthy baking mixes to the world.
And while our products are made today in a state-of-the-art facility… it all began in a tiny cottage near the ocean in Delray Beach, Florida. It was so tight,we had to move out the computers and electronics on production days to avoid the dust!
Here’s a picture that was taken after our first production run (and by “production run” we mean a young husband and wife covered in baking dust, mixing ingredients by hand).
We’re proud to be among the first food manufacturers to use functional ingredients in baking mixes. And we’re thrilled to make “healthy baking” easier for you!
When we set out on this path, very few people had even heard the term “gluten free.” There were no products to taste for inspiration. And no guidebooks (or even any recipes) to follow.
It was all trial… and LOTS of errors. In fact, most of our earliest experiments were failures.
There was a pizza “dough” that was more like soup… cookies that crumbled… cakes that fell flat… and a bread formula that rose so high it nearly caught the oven on fire!
You see, baking is an exact science. Changing just one ingredient – or the ratio of ingredients to each other – can cause very different results.
And we weren’t just changing one ingredient… sometimes we were replacing them all!
Eventually, the experiments paid off. We discovered a few secrets. Then we made small, incremental improvements… perfecting one delicious product at a time.
And to be sure you get the greatest use from our products, we’ve developed hundreds of simple blend-and-bake recipes, featuring our grain-free, paleo and keto-friendly mixes.
You can easily make these delicious (and healthy) creations in your own kitchen… and for LESS than you would spend at your local bakery.
And while our goal today is to provide YOUR family with the healthiest baking mixes on the planet…
It all began with a desire to feed our own family in a better way.
In 2012, our Chief Tasting Officer, Jackson, was born…
Having this boy in our lives has been the greatest blessing we could ever deserve. It also solidified our mission to create products that provide pleasure and health in equal measure. Some of life’s greatest memories are made in the kitchen.
We wanted to experience the bright smile on our son’s face, when he gets to lick a whisk covered in chocolate cake batter. We wanted to enjoy the nostalgia of a Saturday morning family breakfast around a steaming pile of pancakes.
And we want your family to enjoy these same experiences – without concern for your health!
That’s why you can be sure that every Wellness Bakeries product is Kid-Tested & Mom Approved!
Today, we operate from a beautiful valley in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah, beside a deep-blue lake, ringed by snow-capped peaks.
We also discovered a charming historic building, which we carefully restored and now serves as Wellness Bakeries headquarters.
You can be sure that we’re here to stay… and we will continue to develop delicious comfort-food creations you can feel GOOD about eating and serving to your family and friends.
We hope that you will enjoy every one of our uniquely delicious products as much as we have enjoyed creating them for you. We truly appreciate your support!
Here’s to having your cake… and staying well too!
"I love what you do. I am gluten intolerant and reducing sugar, so your products fill the bill perfectly. I started with the Chocolate Bliss, Carrot Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookies and Drinking Chocolate. I have enjoyed them all! There are a lot of gluten-free products, but it is hard to find products that are gluten-free and low glycemic. Keep coming up with recipes and new products… they’re great!"

"I’ve been looking for products like yours for a long time. My family loves dessert, but I hate the thought of feeding them so much sugar. We tried desserts with artificial sweeteners, but my kids always responded YUCK! We made our first batch of your cupcakes last night. I’m so impressed! More importantly, my family LOVED them!"
— Karen W.
"Going grain-free and sugar-free has been a challenge. I was looking for ways to have a treat without blowing my new way of eating. I have tried your chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookies and ginger cookies. The texture in grain-free, sugar-free products is usually crumbly and mealy. But your products are exceptional! I will be trying new ones and reordering the ones I have already tried."
— Gina S.
"I love your baking mixes. When I decided to eat less gluten and sugar, I dreaded not being able to enjoy my favorite sweets. I tried some gluten-free products but none offered the right flavor and texture, until I found yours! I made the Chocolate Bliss cupcakes and they were soooo good. Didn't even get them frosted before they were gone! I don't recall how your website found me, but I’m sure glad it did!"
— Suzanne Z.
"I am so thankful for your products! I ordered Chocolate Bliss Cake and absolutely LOVE it! It is so nice to enjoy something sweet without the sugar crash of most desserts. I feel great when I eat this cake and I don’t even feel guilty!! I eat low-glycemic and paleo as much as possible. I just feel healthier and more energetic when I eat this way. I have not found anything that compares to your products!"
— Andrea H.
"I want to thank you for the delicious and OOOOH SOOOOOOO good for you desserts! I just tried them and was SO IMPRESSED with the taste, texture and, of course, clean ingredients! I am a drugless health practitioner and weight loss coach and have started sharing your website with my clients. Everyone needs to know about you! Thank you again for all you do and for offering such "wholesome" products!"
