I’m excited to share my Mama’s Bake & Fry Mix in my series of Make Ahead Mixes.
Mama’s Bake & Fry Mix has been one of my go to coatings for a long time even before my Trim Healthy Mama Journey began.
Mama’s Bake & Fry Mix has been rattling around in my kitchen for close to 10 years. It’s been something that my kids have enjoyed and even called me to ask how to make after they moved out on their own.
It has changed a bit since I started following Trim Healthy Mama with the addition of THM Baking Blend or my Low Carb Baking Mix and some tweaks on the seasonings,
It’s low carb and gluten-free and takes minutes to make up a batch. I can normally coat 2 family size packages of chicken with this along with a couple batches of fish.
Mama’s Bake & Fry Mix is a great replacement for seasoned bread crumbs and it bakes and fries up into a crispy coating on chicken, fish, pork chops, veggies and cube steak.
I’ll be adding some recipes that use Mama’s Bake and Fry Mix in the near future.
for those following THM this is an S coating.

What are onion flakes? This looks delicious.
Judy says
Dried minced onions 🙂
Erin says
This looks great! Think the Parmesan cheese could be left out to make this dairy free too? Maybe sub in some nutritional yeast? Thank you!
J says
Is there something I could use instead of pork rinds? Thanks.
Judy says
You could use the breading from the snatch em up chicken tenders in Trim Healthy Table.
Sheri Coughlin says
This looks like a great breading recipe!!! What size is the large bag of pork rinds?
Judy says
it is 3.5 ounces
Lori Taylor says
How should this be stored?
Judy says
If you are using it quickly you can store it at room temperature, but I normally store it in the fridge or freezer and bring it to room temp when I am using it.
Becky Oldham says
Hi, Judy! I’m wondering if you have a specific place where you can buy enough dehydrated onion flakes? This recipe sounds terrific, by the way!
Judy says
I buy onion flakes in bulk at a local amish store
