Gluten-free alternatives have come a long way in recent years. Gone are the days of cardboard bread and bland baked goods. Instead, grocers like Trader Joe's are offering up plenty of tasty options—from chickpea pasta to decadent cookies. Plus, the popular grocer stocks its shelves with these popular products on a regular basis, not just for a limited time. Here are the items to add to your cart during your next shopping trip.

These snappy, oblong toasts are made with a blend of rice, tapioca, and potato flours, which are combined with a base of egg whites and tangy buttermilk. Sweet, chewy dried cranberries and raisins, along with savory pumpkin seeds and aromatic rosemary, make them extra flavorful.

Made with a mix of rice flour, tapioca starch, oat flour, and cornstarch, this gluten-free version of Joe-Joe’s features plenty of rich chocolate flavor, thanks to the addition of cocoa and semisweet chocolate. A velvety smooth, vanilla-flavored crème is sandwiched between two of the cookies to form a classic sweet treat.

Each one of these bars combines hearty oats, sweet fig paste, and aromatic baking spices to make a satisfying snack for the morning commute or for after your workout. The oats in this product are not certified gluten-free and might not be suitable for people with celiac.

Like the grocer's popular Hearts of Palm Pasta, this rice alternative is made with just hearts of palm that's been riced, of course. Nothing has been added to this mild-flavored rice, so you can use it as a blank canvas for a variety of dishes.
