Our Favorite Thomas' English Muffin Has A Creamy Aroma And Tangy Flavor
The English muffin is the king of bread choices when it comes to breakfast. Toast and slather it with butter, pile on some eggs, bacon, and cheese for a classic breakfast sandwich, or transform it into yummy avocado toast; it doesn't get much better. But when it comes to the best English muffins, Thomas' English Muffins rise to the top. They've been a part of our morning meals since 1880, and the variety of flavors continues to impress. But our favorite Thomas' English Muffin has a tangy taste and creamy aroma thanks to one ingredient: buttermilk.
Daily Meal's Helena Nichols ranked eight of the most popular flavors of Thomas' English Muffins. Based on taste, texture, and whether or not each variation was truly full of all those beloved "Nooks & Crannies," Nichols determined the humble Buttermilk English Muffin not only delivered on this criteria, it lived up to its buttermilk hype. The company touts the fact that they are indeed "...made with real buttermilk, free from high fructose corn syrup," and they taste all the better for it.
From the moment you remove the tie from the plastic bag to the first bite, that tangy buttermilk flavor fills the nose and the mouth. The texture allows the butter to "pool" in all those beautiful cavities, creating an irresistible bite. But it's not just our reviewer who thinks so.
Made for more than breakfast
Kroger's online grocery store shows an average customer rating of 4.8 stars for this English muffin flavor, an impressive rating. One reviewer wrote, "Wonderful buttermilk flavor and they toast beautifully." Another (who grabbed them by mistake) shared, "They have a richer flavor and somehow less calories. I hope they'll add them to the permanent Thomas' lineup!" The Reddit community also agrees with this assessment, with one noting, "These are my favorite by far....but I like all Thomas' flavors." And another referenced its "softer texture" as one of its many assets.
Beyond the rich buttermilk flavor that will have you thinking of your grandmother making morning biscuits, these muffins have just 130 calories, 1 gram of fat, and 2 grams of sugar, making them a nice option for those who shun added sugar in their foods. Of course, you don't just have to eat them at breakfast. Use them to sandwich your grilled onion cheeseburger or make that perfect grilled cheese even better by using a buttermilk English muffin. You will appreciate that extra tanginess it adds, creating a lovely contrast for your taste buds.
