Highlights of a recent visit to the Hudson Valley area of New York included a walk at the New Croton Dam and Dam Good™ English Muffins whose package features a drawing of the New Croton Dam. Dam Good™ English Muffins are vegan sourdough muffins, baked in Peekskill, NY and made using non-GMO ingredients with no preservatives.

They are tasty! Muffins come in four varieties – white, whole wheat, multigrain, and cinnamon swirl. Split and toast a cinnamon swirl muffin and your kitchen will smell like you’ve made a batch of cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon gives them a warm sweetness, but they are not overwhelmingly sweet with only a couple of grams of added sugar per muffin. Multigrain muffins feature a light dusting of oats and seeds and would make a delicious sandwich bun as well as a toasted breakfast bread. Whole wheat muffins have no added sugar which makes it easy to appreciate their wheaty goodness. The white muffins, like the other varieties, are puffy and filled with nooks and crannies. The white muffins have the strongest sourdough flavor.

According to their Operations Manager,  “We decided to make our entire product line vegan so that we could cater to a larger customer base, including those with different dietary needs and restrictions. We also saw this as an opportunity in the English muffin category, as most other brands on the market don’t offer vegan varieties.”

Dam Good™ vegan English muffins can be ordered online and are shipped throughout the United States.
