These are IT for me. Flax4Life Flax Muffins are my favorite dairy-free store-bought muffins, gluten-free or not. Though not a flake of wheat is within, they take me back to the beloved bran muffins of my youth.
We’ve tried most of the flavors, and they each have a delightful sweetness that isn’t sugary, and a moist, tender texture. They’re not too dense, but are definitely good and hearty. I usually eat these gluten-free flax muffins plain, because they are quite filling as is. But if I want a little indulgence, I cut them in half and top with dairy-free buttery spread. If I want an even more filling breakfast with an extra bump of protein, I spread on some nut or seed butter.
Flax4Life Flax Muffins are the Ultimate Healthy Breakfast Convenience
Because ground flaxseeds are the first ingredient, each muffin has around 4400mg of Omega 3 fatty acids and more than 60mg of lignans, which “help maintain breast and prostate health.”
Flax4Life Flax Muffins freeze unbelievably well – just put the whole container in the freezer and pop one out about an hour before you plan to eat it (perfect for packing along to school or work). It still tastes tender and perfectly moist once defrosted. But you can also buy their newer single-serve muffins, which are individually-wrapped and have a longer shelf life.

Loved them til I found out they were frozen!
I can’t buy these muffins locally, so I started shopping on the company website. Today when my order came, it was packed in a box indicating that they were frozen and should be labeled with 30-day freshness dates once thawed. Since they’d been shipped (and it took a week for the box to make it from the company to my home) they were completely thawed already. The company responded to my complaint by saying they ship their items to stores frozen, not fresh, although they are not labeled as such. I won’t pay a premium price for a thawed, not fresh, item!
Response from Go Dairy Free
As a heads up to all other readers, this is how most brands of baked goods send their products. They are flash frozen for freshness and then thawed for the shelves. If shipped fresh, most baked goods would mold far too quickly on the shelves – especially natural brands with minimal additives, like this brand.
Love ❤ this!
The benefits overshadow the carbs in many ways!! I cut them in half & wrapped to go!
They are the best muffins
I absolutely love these muffins I have ever had.. Very healthy ingredients. So glad I came across them!
Wish they were organic
I’ve purchased the Flax4Life 4 pack of the carrot cake variety twice and love them. I would like to make something similar at home with all organic ingredients. I will still buy them because they do taste great!
Hearty, gluten-free, rich bran muffins
I couldn’t be more in love with these nutritious pastries. If you crave hearty, rich bran muffins, then you too will adore these breakfast treats – and surprise, they’re actually gluten-free! In fact, everything this brand makes is produced in their dairy-, gluten-, and nut-free facility in the U.S. with wonderfully wholesome ingredients. Swoon!

I’ve been eating these for a few years since being GF, really disappointed how these have been made smaller now for the 2nd time, they are practically bite size. And, they are now $7.99.
That is a bummer. You might want to let the company know directly.
