My sister is gluten-free, and whenever she visits, we load up on Trader Joe's gluten-free products so she can actually enjoy breakfast with us. These Trader Joe's Gluten Free English Muffins have become a go-to item in that cart - mostly because they taste like real English muffins, not crumbly substitutes.
Where to find them
They're in the bread section, usually on the shelf with other gluten-free loaves and bagels. The packaging looks simple, but the muffins toast up nicely once you get them home.
Taste and texture
Straight from the bag, they're a little dense - not something I'd eat without toasting. But once they hit the toaster, the edges get crisp, and the inside softens up enough to mimic a classic English muffin.
The flavor is neutral in the best way: slightly wheaty, not sweet, and no "gluten-free aftertaste." They hold up to butter, jam, eggs - even heavier toppings like avocado or breakfast sausage - without falling apart.
I like that they actually split like English muffins too. You still get those little craters that collect melted butter (very important).
How we enjoy them
When my sister is here, these are breakfast lifesavers. We toast them, add cream cheese or avocado, and nobody feels like they're eating a "special diet" option. They work well for gluten-free breakfast sandwiches for the kids too.
They do firm up pretty quickly once toasted, so I try to eat them while still warm for the best texture.
