FAQ
Is this the same as a cinnamon raisin muffin?
No. This is a toasted English muffin, which is a lean, griddle-cooked bread with a chewy texture. A cinnamon raisin muffin is a chemically-leavened, cake-like quick bread, typically higher in fat and sugar.
Why is the fat content so low?
Traditional English muffin dough contains very little fat, relying on yeast fermentation and griddle cooking for its texture. The raisins and cinnamon provide flavor without added fats.
Is it a good source of fiber?
At 3g per 100g, it provides some dietary fiber, primarily from the raisins and whole grain flour if used, but it is not considered a high-fiber food.
