All-natural and homemade by our Executive Bread Baker, Rock Ramsey and the Flying Star bread bakers.

After numerous and numerous--I mean 18 different variations--I finally settled on the perfect recipe for our Ugly Muffin. This muffin has a face only I could love, it's true. It's also hands-down one of the healthiest on the market today, incorporating 18 all natural ingredients and no refined sugar or flour. I strongly suggest that you enjoy this product warm, as heating it just a little encourages the honey to soften. It's ugly, I know--but I'm sure that you'll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it for you.

New to the Flying Star bakery case is my variation of the English Muffin. It's a bit more buttery and dense than the traditional English Muffin which results in a moist, flavorful, savory product. Our test markets preferred our English Muffin lightly toasted and solo. It has enough flavor to carry it without accouterments. Taste and enjoy.
