About us
The Mother-Daughter Team Behind the Decadence
The heart behind
Fancy & Flourless
Fancy & Flourless is a mother-daughter bakery born from a shared love of great desserts and inspired by Avari’s gluten-free lifestyle. For years, we struggled to find treats that felt truly indulgent rather than limited. We realized that the world didn’t need another “health food” cookie; it needed a small batch flourless bakery that refused to compromise on elegance or taste.
a new standard for Twin Cities gourmet desserts
We are proud to serve our community with gourmet gluten-free treats that surprise and delight. From our kitchen to your door via Twin Cities cookie delivery, we invite you to experience the “Fancy” side of flourless baking—where the only thing missing is the gluten, never the decadence.
Gourmet Gluten-free cookies for everyone
Our focus is on crafting Twin Cities gourmet desserts that everyone can enjoy—not just those following a gluten-free diet. As a specialized small-batch flourless bakery, we treat every recipe as an artisanal project. Each cookie is thick, rich, and carefully developed so the experience is memorable long before you ever think about ingredients.
We believe dessert should feel special, beautiful, and inclusive. Whether you are browsing our gluten-free gift boxes in Minnesota for a loved one or arranging a local flourless cookie pickup for your own table, our goal remains the same: to create cookies people choose because they are undeniably delicious.
Where to find us
There is nothing quite like the energy of a local market. We love getting out of the kitchen and meeting you in person! You can find Fancy & Flourless popping up at select Twin Cities farmers’ markets and local food festivals throughout the season. Whether you’re a long-time gluten-free eater or just looking for your new favorite cookie, come say hi and grab a fresh batch.
Proudly serving these twin cities communities.

Meet the bakers
With over two decades of professional experience, I traded corporate boardrooms for the warmth of the kitchen to build something meaningful with my family. My passion lies in the science of baking—finding that perfect balance of texture and taste that proves ‘flourless’ doesn’t have to mean ‘compromise.’ For me, every cookie is a chance to create a moment of pure, inclusive indulgence.”
Hidden Talent: I can tell if a batch is done just by the way the kitchen smells.
Fun Fact Ideas: * Can’t live without: A perfectly brewed espresso to pair with a Dark Chocolate Sea Salt cookie.
Kitchen Quirks: I have a specific ‘lucky’ spatula that has been used for every single recipe test.
Fancy & Flourless started because I wanted a dessert that felt as special as the occasion. Living a gluten-free lifestyle shouldn’t mean missing out on the best part of the meal! I focus on the ‘Fancy’ side of the brand—from the aesthetic of our signature gift boxes to the final sparkle on a seasonal flavor. If it isn’t beautiful and delicious, it doesn’t leave our kitchen.”
Cookie Philosophy: I believe the middle of the cookie is the best part, but the edges provide the necessary structural integrity.
Fun Fact Ideas: * Favorite Flavor: I’m the reason our [Signature Cookie Name] exists; I requested it for three birthdays in a row!
Market Style: You’ll usually find me at our local markets with an iced matcha in hand.
