Ingredients Matter
Variety in the diet is a good thing, we believe that applies to baking as well. A plethora of different flours from grains, vegetables and seeds go into our creations. Everything we offer is high in fibre and sweetened in moderation, so the flavours of the ingredients shine through!
We're Serious About Our Pantry
At VNB, we do not use any gluten-containing flour (from wheat, barely or rye), and instead focus on a variety of other grains like buckwheat, brown rice, sweet rice, Canadian GF Oats (glyphosate-free) and fibre-rich sorghum, along with a variety of seeds, coconut, tapioca and non-GMO potato starch. We freshly grind some of our flour in house and many of our ingredients are organic!
Our items are baked with heat-safe fats including extra virgin olive oil, organic coconut oil and butter.
​​​
We do not use xanthan gum as it is highly processed. Instead we use more natural binders such as eggs and ground seeds.
​
For sweeteners we opt for unrefined organic cane sugar and brown cane sugar, as well as organic maple syrup and raw honey.
​​
We use organic natural peanut butter, natural almond butter and natural sunflower seed butter. Our eggs are free run and we use Belgian and all-natural chocolate and cocoa powder. We choose sustainable paper packaging as much as possible and our parchment paper contains natural vegetable wax.
Because we use nuts and seeds in many of our products we cannot accommodate for nut or seed allergies. Please inquire about any other allergy concerns you may have.
​
It is a pleasure baking for you!
