I was recently delightfully surprised by the Cinnamon and Currant English Muffins made by Foods By George.
The gluten-free, wheat-free, lactose-free, casein-free, dairy-free, corn-free and soy-free English muffins come in frozen stack of four. The muffins have a baked brown exterior that truly resemble a tall English scone, rather than the flattened version of English Muffins most American grocery stores sell. We defrosted ours in the oven at 325 degrees for 10 minutes then sliced in half and threw in the toaster for about 5 minutes. Up popped two delicious looking muffin-halves just waiting for some butter- hey it was the holidays and we were out of SmartBalance.
The butter melted perfectly into the nooks and crannies and in between the currants. Rob and I were in heaven on our first bite. The exterior toasted up to crunchy perfection, while the inside remained soft and moist. There was enough cinnamon to actually be tasted and the currants were plentiful throughout.
Though not as rich and filling as gluten English Muffins or scones, the Foods by George muffins have an authentic mouth feel and closely resemble the real-deal. The muffins are especially convenient for the weekend when nobody feels like eating regular cold cereal. We’ll definitely be adding these as a staple. Plus, we learned that a portion of the proceeds from Foods By George is donated to Celiac Disease research.
