Why Choose Queen St. Bakery English Muffins?
Our English Muffins are far from ordinary — they’re crafted for those who want real ingredients, great taste, and a boost of nutrition in every bite.
1. Gluten-Free Goodness You Can Trust
Made without wheat, gluten, or fillers, these muffins use sorghum, white bean flour, and psyllium husk for a naturally gluten-free, nutrient-dense foundation. You get that classic English muffin texture — soft inside, crisp outside — without compromise.
2. Rich in Fibre and Nutrients
White bean flour adds more than flavor — it’s a source of plant-based protein and fibre, helping to support steady energy and healthy digestion. Fibre also helps balance blood sugar, making it a smart choice for breakfast, even when you’re indulging in something sweet and seasonal.
3. Made from Real, Whole Ingredients
At Queen St. Bakery, we keep it simple — no preservatives, gums, or artificial additives. Just clean, whole ingredients that make you feel good about what you’re eating.
4. Perfectly Toastable and Versatile
Our English Muffins are the ultimate blank canvas for both sweet and savory creations. From avocado toast to breakfast sandwiches — or festive spreads like this whipped pumpkin cream cheese — they always toast up beautifully!
