Have you heard of Red Plate Foods? If not, go check them out. Run, don’t walk. They have a dedicated facility, and make tasty allergy friendly foods. Best part: THEY SHIP!! Red Plate Foods doesn’t ship a few of their products, including their cupcakes (you have to be local to them to snag some), but everything else can all be yours with a few clicks. The kids had the opportunity to review their Banana Muffin after GFAF in San Mateo a few weeks ago, and they have nothing but good things to say about the Red Plate Foods Banana Muffin 🙂
Here’s What Everyone Had to Say
Kid Two: This is THE perfect banana bread muffin. It’s bursting with flavor, and I love it! I’m not sure if the bursting flavor is from the sweetness or the “banana bread” but either way, it’s good.
Kid Three: Oh man. It melts in your mouth! And it tastes SO gooood. It tastes like a legit non-alergy friendly banana bread muffin (this is our low/no sugar kid, so he has had a banana bread made with wheat and egg)
Kid Four: I agree with everything Kid Three said. It’s really sweet to me, and it’s muffin-y, not cakey. Can I have the rest?
As you can see, this muffin was nothing short of a huge hit. Here’s my two cents. While I love that the kids love this muffin, there’s a lot of sugar in it… 33 grams to be precise. A few months ago we were experimenting with banana muffins about the same size, and had them at 12 – 15 grams of maple sugar, and this muffin uses cane sugar. If sugar and carbs aren’t an issue for you, I can’t say this more strongly: buy these muffins!!
I tried the Red Plate banana muffin. I’m not vegan but try to remain open minded, and have found a few vegan products surprisingly good, but most not, and this muffin was not. It seemed not cooked toward the bottom, too gooey, dense, sweet, and with a strange texture otherwise. It really was the worst cake product I’ve ever had.
First, I love that you keep an open mind 🙂 I’m sure that allows you to try a wide range of products on the market. Second, I’m so sorry you had this experience with the muffins. If you ever find yourself in a store that sells Better Bites bakery products, give them a try. The Papa says they’re very good, and he can eat just about everything. Hope your next vegan try is a success.
