If you’ve ever spotted a gluten free version of something you used to love and practically did a little dance in the grocery aisle—you’re not alone. And if that same product disappeared before you could even buy it a second time… also not alone.
When you eat gluten free—especially with Celiac—it can feel like finding something that actually tastes good and doesn’t make you sick is like winning the lottery. So when something great disappears, it hits harder than it should.
Here are a few of the gluten free products I still miss—and maybe you do too.
Iconic Gluten Free Breakfasts
Kellogs Gluten Free Rice Krispies
These were a game changer. Not just for cereal, but for marshmallow squares, coating chicken, and baking experiments. They had that classic snap, crackle, pop—and they felt like one of those rare moments where a big brand actually gave us something good.
Kellogg’s claimed “low demand” when they pulled them, but if you ask me, they gave up on us too soon. These were more than cereal—they were an actual staple.
Gluten Free Eggo Waffles
These were such a solid win. Crispy, easy, fast, and not trying to reinvent the wheel. Just a waffle that didn’t fall apart or taste weird. When they disappeared, my freezer felt noticeably emptier.
Pillsbury – Gone Too Soon
Pillsbury Gluten Free Cookie Dough
There’s something so comforting about having ready-to-bake cookie dough in the fridge, and Pillsbury nailed it with their gluten free version. Soft middles, golden edges - exactly what you want from a chocolate chip cookies. It quietly disappeared, and I still haven’t found anything that comes close. I still glance at the refrigerated section like it might magically reappear one day.
Pillsbury Gluten Free Pizza Dough
This one was another staple. It wasn’t fancy, but it made a solid pizza. Easy to roll out, baked up well, and could handle all the toppings I would pile on.
Glutino – Where Did the Toaster Pastries Go
Remember these? They were a go-to for rushed mornings and late-night sweet cravings. The strawberry ones were our favorite, but I’d grab any flavor I could find. Glutino still makes some great stuff, but I really wish they’d bring these back.
Lance Crackers: Gluten Free Cheese and Peanut Butter Bites (US)
These were such a solid little win. They had that satisfying crunch and salty-smooth filling that hit the spot every time. And honestly? They reminded me of being a kid. Lance basically gave us a gluten free dupe for those classic Ritz cheese and peanut butter cracker sandwiches—the ones that showed up in lunchboxes and road trip snack packs.
They were perfect for tossing in a bag, keeping in your desk, or stashing in the car. Just simple, reliable snacks.
All But Gluten Vanilla Snack Cakes
If you ever loved Mae West snack cakes but had to live gluten free, these were a little slice of heaven. All But Gluten’s vanilla snack cakes were basically gluten free dupes for the classic Mae West—soft, sweet, and just the right amount of nostalgic. Sadly, these vanished, leaving a noticeable gap in the gluten free snack cake world.
Ener-G Table Crackers
These were my first gluten free love. I used to eat them with peanut butter all the time—just something about that combo felt safe and familiar when everything else felt uncertain. The crackers themselves had a simple saltine vibe: light, crispy, and not trying too hard. And honestly, that’s exactly what I needed back then.
There’s still nothing quite like them.
It’s funny how these products become more than just food—they’re little pieces of normalcy and comfort in a world where gluten-free options can sometimes feel limited. While some of these favorites have disappeared, they remind us how important it is to keep supporting brands that get it right and to keep hoping for more great gluten-free finds in the future. If any of these brought back memories for you too, I’d love to hear which ones—and if you’ve found any worthy replacements along the way!
