REVIEW:
Udi’s motto is “making gluten free delicious” and after tasting their Gluten Free Double Chocolate Muffins, we can say that it’s a fitting one. Udi’s Gluten Free Foods, located in Denver, CO is one of the biggest names in the gluten free world. They make a large variety of gluten free products including breads, bagels, pizza crusts, granola, and of course muffins and they are sold in over 3500 stores in the U.S. and Canada.
I’m a big fan of muffins and an even bigger fan of chocolate so I was very interested in trying these Double Chocolate Muffins. Open up the package and you can immediately smell the chocolate. I have had other gluten free muffins before, and I could tell right away, that this was not your typical gluten free muffin. The gluten free muffins I’ve had before have been dry with a texture that was not even remotely close to what a muffin should be. Muffins should be soft and moist and have some substance to it and that’s exactly what we have here. As far as taste and texture goes, it was perfect. One thing I would change about the muffin is to maybe make the baking trays a little shallower so that the muffins overflow over the top a little more. I’m a big fan of the tops of muffins because they are nice and sticky and just delicious. I was a little disappointed to see that this muffin didn’t have much of a muffin top.
Flavored with evaporated cane juice, cocoa powder, chocolate chips and lemon flavor, this muffin has the perfect sweetness. Although I didn’t taste the lemon flavor, I definitely tasted the cocoa flavor. The chocolate chips were mixed into the muffin and added little pockets of sweetness and a crunch, which we thought was a very nice blend of textures. The muffin was extremely moist and chewy, which surprised us because it’s the gluten that usually makes baked goods chewy. As far as gluten free muffins goes, this one is the closest to the real thing I have ever had.
Udi’s is a great company that has gone to great lengths to provide great tasting gluten free products products without having to sacrifice flavor or texture. This muffin is not only gluten free, but it is also soy free, dairy free and nut free. You will be glad to know that these muffins are also Certified Gluten Free and made in a dedicated gluten free facility so you don’t have to worry about cross contamination with other gluten products.
Overall, we thought this muffin was great. It had a very subtle sweet flavor and was extremely moist. They were so much like regular glutinous muffins that I couldn’t even tell the difference. If you’re a fan of chocolate and like muffins, I’m sure you’ll like this one. One thing to note is that while these muffins don’t contain any tree nuts, they are produced in a facility that also processes tree nuts, so if you are allergic, you might want to be careful with these.
