Soft and lemony fresh, Udi’s hits the mark with Lemon Streusel Muffins

Udi’s Gluten-Free Lemon Streusel Muffins – $5.99+

This, my dear readers, is what we call a splurge purchase.

Seriously.

I was out at the store shopping with my roommate for groceries, and these were just beckoning to me.  I checked the food budget (which has been so tight since I had to go gluten-free) and we made an allowance for the chance to try these.  I was super excited and just couldn’t wait to dive in at breakfast the following morning.

I warmed the mega muffin (seriously, these things are HUGE) up in the microwave, because muffins are a treat best enjoyed warm.  And what a treat this one was.  Whatever Udi’s is doing, they need to continue.

This muffin was very soft and light.  No easy task when it comes to muffins.  The flavor was a lot like a lemon pound cake, where the lemon sort of acts as a flavor enhancer, rather than steal the show.  I suppose a little more lemon flavor wouldn’t have gone awry, but the amount in the muffin definitely gave the lemon undertones without being overpowering.

When you pop these out of the package, they feel so heavy, but that’s where the magic happens in the microwave.  The warm, soft treat that awaits you after a quick heat is fantastic.  Truly, this could be enjoyed as a breakfast, snack, or even a dessert.  It managed to find a delicate balance between flavor and texture.

Once again, Udi’s hit it out of the ballpark with another of their products.  All of their muffins are a delicious treat, but this flavor was so refreshing.  The lemon flavor was a great palate cleanser.  If I were to change anything about this delicious muffin, I’d only add a touch more lemon flavor.  Aside from that…muffin perfection in every gluten-free bite.

Treat yourself to another Udi’s delight next time you’re craving a muffin.  I promise, you’ll hoover down a muffin and have to resist going back for another.

But if you do…don’t worry…you can go out and get more at the grocery store.  No questions asked.  It will be our little secret.
