Oven bottom muffins review

As a curious foodie, I love to scout for things that I have never tried before.
On a recent supermarket trip, I ran into some Sheldons oven bottom muffins, at a glance they just looked like bagels and roujiamo with a slightly browned surface.

They weren't really appealing because they look big but they were incredibly soft.
After googling it, all I got was that they were baked at the bottom of the oven so I took to instagram for answers.
There were lots of pictures of these oven bottom muffins with bacon and egg etc.
One lovely baker @bakes_by_tom was really kind to answer and explain what these oven bottom muffins were.

It's a bread roll, bap, barm,bread cake, tea cake etc but these to me are the best all rounder to use for breakfast sandwiches, salad sandwiches even put a burger on it at a BBQ. Traditionally they are baked in the bottom of the oven when the ovens were turned off at the end of the baking day hence the name oven bottom. I think you can buy g.h Sheldon's oven bottom muffins in the supermarket around the Uk. also supermarket do sell they own branded ones. These are traditionally oven bottoms what are flatter, sold all over Lancashire in shops indoor and outdoor markets.

To conclude, they are not English muffins even though they are called Oven Bottom muffins because the texture is the soft and fluffy which makes them great for breakfast fillings.

They taste so good when they are toasted! 

So now there are three muffins that are totally different, the American muffin, English muffin and the Oven bottom muffuns.

The ones by Sheldon were amazing! 

I simply toasted them and tried it with butter and it was simply heaven, it was like eating a perfectly buttered toast from your favourite greasy spoons.

Although they look big and filling, they're actually light as a cloud! 

Adding bacon and a little mayonnaise was bliss so now I can understand why this is the perfect thing for breakfast.

[Review] Morrisons Fresh Cream Chocolate Cherry Muffins

Spotted these enticing fresh cream filled Chocolate Cherry Muffins at Morrisons ages ago but as my fridge was packed, I didn't get them until recently.

The fresh cream and cherry was divine but the muffin was too soft and moist for my liking as well as the sweetness.

Cadburys caramel muffins

I was captivated by the Cadburys caramel muffins at Sainsburys because these muffins are filled with gooey caramel and topped with caramel curls.

After warming them up, the caramel in the middle was literally oozing out.

Overall, the muffins were delicious.

[Review] Rustlers Sausage Muffin

Rustlers burgers have been around for ages since 1999 and going strong.
When they first appeared, there were only a few options but the now range is bigger and better with chicken, ribs etc.

A few weeks ago, I had the Rustlers Southern Fried Chicken Burger which was very satisfying so this time I got the Rustlers Sausage Muffin.

Instructions are simple, it is either toasting or shoving it in the microwave.

For the sausage muffin, it only involves the microwave then slapping on the cheese and ketchup.

Overall, I was really impressed with the taste especially the sausage patty as you could taste the seasoning and spices.
However the ketchup annoyed me because it was sweeter than the other brands but it was easily fixed by adding some fiery peri peri sauce to it.
The slice of cheese melted nicely as the sausage patty was very hot from the microwave which is why you have to let it stand and cool down before eating.

I hope to try other burgers in the range but sometimes it is difficult because you have to go to the bigger stores.

My next priority to try would probably be the Flame grilled BBQ Rib!

[Review] Sainsburys Vintage Cheese & Butter Muffins, Taste the Difference

Decided to get some muffins and spotted the Vintage Cheese & Butter Muffins, Taste the Difference ones at Sainsburys.

When I opened the packet, there was a faint cheese smell, after toasting them there was not much cheesy taste at all.

Compared to other brands, these muffins were rather thin which is good if you are on a diet or not wanting to be too full from a muffin.

Overall, the muffins were ok but not cheesy!

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencer Mini Bacon & Cheddar Muffins

While I was at the olives and dips section, I noticed these tiny muffins which were so adorable!
At a glance they looked like Chinese shao mai but they were cute mini muffins.
There was Cheese and Onion or Bacon & Cheddar.
It was hard deciding but ended up getting the Bacon and Cheddar.

These tiny little muffins are seriously too cute to eat and I ended up taking so many pictures.
The heating instructions are a bit confusing because it has cooking instructions but it also says do not reheat.

Although you are meant to put them in the oven, I microwaved them for 15 seconds which also worked.
Each muffin was soft and crumbly and the cheddar cheese made the muffins really cheesy and moreish that I finished the in one go.
