Hi, I'm Addison
At the age of 22, I went from being a Division 1 college soccer player to being unable to run. After graduating from the University of Maine, I began distance running in the hopes of running a full marathon. After 3 or 4 miles, my legs would start to lose feeling. If I continued my run, my legs would be completely numb.
A sports specialist diagnosed me with Compartment Syndrome and told me I could either quit running or get invasive surgeries on both legs. I knew there had to be a better way.
I quit gluten cold turkey. I went from eating fast food every week to reading every single ingredient label. Within a week, my life was changed. No more numbness while running. No more weekly headaches. No more brain fog. An increased focus. Clearer skin. A newfound love of healthy foods. I shared my entire journey on my blog, Organically Addison.

Our ingredients
-
Almond Flour
Almond flour is a nutrient-dense alternative to traditional wheat flour, packed with healthy fats, protein, and essential vitamins like vitamin E. It is low in carbohydrates and high in fiber. The natural sweetness and rich, nutty flavor of almond flour enhance the taste and texture of our baked goods without the need for refined sugars.
-
Organic Coconut Sugar
Organic coconut sugar is a natural sweetener derived from the sap of coconut palm trees, offering a lower glycemic index than refined sugar. It retains nutrients like iron, zinc, calcium, and potassium, providing a healthier alternative that can help maintain stable blood sugar levels. Its subtle caramel flavor adds depth to our desserts without the health risks of conventional sweeteners.
-
Cage-Free Eggs
Cage-free eggs come from hens that are allowed to roam freely, which often results in eggs with higher nutritional quality, including more omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A and E. The humane treatment of hens also supports ethical farming practices. These eggs contribute to the richness and texture of baked goods, ensuring a high-quality, wholesome product.
-
Olive Oil
Olive oil is a heart-healthy fat known for its high levels of monounsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants which can help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases. Its smooth, mild flavor provides moisture and richness. Choosing olive oil over other fats promotes better cardiovascular health and overall well-being.
-
Pure Vanilla Extract
Pure vanilla extract is derived from natural vanilla beans and is free from artificial additives, offering a rich, authentic flavor. It contains antioxidants and small amounts of essential minerals like magnesium and potassium. Using pure vanilla extract enhances the flavor profile while supporting a cleaner, more natural ingredient list.
-
Sea Salt
Sea salt is harvested through the evaporation of seawater and is minimally processed, retaining trace minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium. These minerals not only contribute to overall health but enhance the flavor of baked goods more effectively than regular table salt. Its pure, natural taste complements the natural sweetness of the desserts. Sea salt is a nod to Addison's home state of Maine.
-
