I recently checked out BB Muffins for the first time in years to find a delicious BB Muffins Gluten Free Range! From the classic Blueberry Muffin to the tastebud tingling Apple & Cinnamon Muffin; I grabbed a couple of BB Muffins Gluten Free delights and gave them a try!
So on a recent trip to Chelmsford, whilst I was back having a few days down south, I was at a loose end as to where to grab a cake & a drink. Of course, Chelmsford has Costa, Caffe Nero, Starbucks & all those other places that offers us gluten free eaters a chocolate brownie etc. But, I wanted something different.
When I came across another popular chain, BB Muffins, I wasn’t holding out for anything. I have very rarely eaten a muffin ever since my gluten intolerance took hold, and if I have it hasn’t been great.
But what I saw on a couple of posters at BB Muffins, made sure a huge smile crept across my entire face.
Gluten Free Muffins from a dedicated muffin cafe?! Yes please. I still await the day Millies Cookies go gluten free or even the day I can get a cheeky iced bun from Greggs! I know these might not be the healthiest of places but damn, they taste good and are super convenient!
Anyway, enough of ‘where isn’t serving gluten free yet’ and more on the wonderful BB Muffins! They have currently got 2 different gluten free muffins on the menu. The Blueberry Muffin and the Apple & Cinnamon Muffin – I tried both as I just couldn’t resist!
The Gluten Free Blueberry muffin, I initially had a sample of at the front of the store. Since when are gluten free samples given out? My lucky day I think. You will be shocked to know that this was my first ever Blueberry muffin, it was amazing. It was incredibly moist & soft. It wasn’t even slightly crumbly or dry like some shop bought cakes & muffins can be (especially gluten free). There were blueberries throughout the muffin which tasted amazing. I have to say I fell in love with this Blueberry muffin, & really do hope I can grab another one soon at a branch local to Manchester!
One of my favourite flavour combinations has got to be apple and cinnamon. I love apple strudels, cobblers & of course a really cinnamon infested apple crumble is the highlight of any meal for me. So when I noticed a tasty looking selection of gluten free apple & cinnamon muffins at the heart of the BB Muffins counter, I knew I had to take one home with me!
The apple & cinnamon muffin from BB Muffins blew my mind. Not only is it gluten free but it literally tastes like a dessert. The aroma you initially get from the muffin is enough in itself, but then, take a bite & its definitely a muffin on another level! It’s soft & moist just like the blueberry muffin, but the top is ever so slightly crisped up to perfection, to make you really feel like this is an apple crumble muffin! The cinnamon flavour is definitely not overpowering, it blends with the apple taste very well, as you would expect!
I was seriously impressed with BB Muffins from this trip. To be able to create two amazing muffins that are gluten free and great tasting is brilliant. I love the choice of flavours they selected for the gluten free muffins too, it is often too easy to jump straight towards a double chocolate muffin (which is definitely not my favourite flavour!). If you are on a gluten free diet, looking for tasty gluten free cakes / muffins when you are out and about, I would highly recommend popping down to your local BB Muffins. I know they are not everywhere, but they do have plenty of stores across the UK & Ireland so keep your eyes open for them now.
One thing I do wish was that they could provide muffins that were both gluten free & dairy free. Whilst I can eat dairy, Mark cannot, & it is a shame that we can’t enjoy a tasty muffin from BB Muffins together. Hopefully, with the increase in dairy free products on the market, more places will start to provide for not only the gluten free eaters but the dairy free eaters too. Fingers crossed.
Have you found anywhere close by to you that sells gluten free and/or dairy free muffins?
Or, have you visited BB Muffins to try a gluten free muffin?
Let me know on Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram!
I really hope that more places like BB Muffins follow their good example. Sometimes following a tiring day shopping all you fancy is a convenient place to stop for something sweet. Having a place like BB Muffins that I trust and enjoy gluten free is really great news. Lets see if other places can follow & break away from the standard ‘gluten free brownie!’
