I was so excited to see Abe’s Muffins in the news! Pearl River Pastry has been making Abe’s baked goods for years in an allergy-friendly facility, and they’re finally hitting the mainstream. Their mini muffins, pound cakes, square cakes, and now full-size muffins are all dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, soy-free, and sesame-free. But they taste like wonderfully sweet, “normal” treats. In fact, I’ve heard many people say they like Abe’s Muffins better than classic non-vegan muffins. And to make these breakfast pastries even more convenient, Abe’s has individually packaged four flavors of bakery-sized muffins.
Abe’s Muffins Get Individually-Wrapped for Allergy-Friendly on the Go
Abe’s full-size muffins now come in 4-packs, and individually wrapped singles. The individually wrapped muffins are the largest – they’re what I would call bakery-sized muffins while the 4-packs are regular homemade-sized muffins. See the images below to identify which flavors come in which packaging. Please note that the nutrition facts and ingredients might vary just slightly between the 4-count and individually wrapped varieties.
