FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long do English muffins last?
They typically last 4 to 7 days at room temperature if kept in an airtight bag. In the freezer, they can last up to 6 months.
What is the best way to store English muffins?
Keep them in their original packaging or an airtight bag in a cool, dry pantry. If you won't finish them within a few days, freezing is the best option.
Why should I use a fork to open an English muffin?
Using a fork to 'split' the muffin creates an uneven surface with 'nooks and crannies' that hold butter and toppings better than a smooth knife-cut surface.
Are English muffins vegan?
Most commercial English muffins are vegan, but some brands may use milk, butter, or honey. Always check the ingredient label for dairy or animal-derived additives.
Can I toast English muffins from frozen?
Yes, you can toast them directly from the freezer. You may need to increase the toasting time slightly or use a 'defrost' setting on your toaster.
What are the best substitutes for English muffins?
Crumpets are the closest substitute. Other alternatives include bagels, sourdough toast, or ciabatta rolls depending on the dish.
Are English muffins healthier than bread?
They are often lower in calories and fat than large slices of sandwich bread or bagels, but this depends on the specific brand and whether they are whole grain.
How do I know if an English muffin has gone bad?
Look for visible mold spots (usually green, white, or black), a sour or off smell, or an excessively hard, dry texture.
