Have you ever heard of Muffin Break? I hadn’t until last weekend. It’s an amazing cafe/bakery/coffee shop that provides Gluten Free Muffins & Dairy Free Muffins! You can find them dotted all over the UK, so keep your eyes peeled for some delicious free from delights next time your out & about!
You might think I’m going muffin mad after my recent review of the delicious gluten free range of muffins at BB Muffins… maybe I am! But with good reason! On the very same trip out that I discovered BB Muffins gluten free range I also discovered an entire new cafe that I fell a little bit in love with. Its name? Muffin Break.
I had never heard of Muffin Break before the weekend just gone, however they have over 50 cafe/bakeries across the UK. Click here for a store finder! I was intrigued when I wandered past. It looked like a mix of all the different well known coffee shops moulded into one, but with a little more rustic class!
I rushed in to see that like most cafes they do a selection of muffins, cakes, slices, cookies and scones; alongside quiches, sandwiches, soups, wraps and paninis. And whilst again similarly to most of these institutions there is plenty of stuff on the menu full of gluten.. there is lots of choice without as well! & not only in sweet form but in savoury too!
Gluten Free Muffins
Both gluten free savoury and gluten free sweet muffins are on the menu and with a high degree of variety at that. The savoury gluten free muffins at Muffin Break include a ‘Ham, Cheese & Tomato’ Muffin, a ‘Mushroom, Parmesan & Pesto’ Muffin and a ‘Sweet Chilli & Corn’ Muffin, amongst many others.
The list of gluten free sweet muffins is even more vast: ‘Apple & Cinnamon’, ‘Banana Choc Chip’, ‘Apricot Cream Cheese’ and ‘Banana Berry’ … and thats only the tip of the iceberg of Muffin Break’s gluten free sweet muffin range!
I had to grab another muffin whilst I was out on this day & went for the gluten free White Chocolate and Raspberry muffin from Muffin Break. I kept it for the following day and was so glad that I did the next day! The muffin was still incredibly soft & moist. The white chocolate flavour was perfect, not too sickly but it still provided the muffin with a somewhat creamy texture. Their were also delicious white chocolate chunks on top which were irresistible; so irresistible I kept eating them before I ate the muffin! The raspberries throughout the muffin tasted really fresh and complimented the white chocolate really well. White chocolate & raspberries definitely is a match made in heaven!
I wish I had another one of those muffins, I think I will find it very hard to choose a different one next time, as the raspberry and white chocolate was amazing. But, all the other flavours sounds amazing, so I would feel like I was missing out if I didn’t give them a try! From what I tried of the gluten free muffins at Muffin Break, they definitely taste as good, if not better than a standard gluten muffin. I would highly highly recommend giving a Muffin Break muffin a try!
Dairy Free Muffins
What is special about Muffin Break is that they also have recently started doing a range of Dairy Free Muffins! Muffins often contain milk and sometimes even other dairy products such as yoghurt. So for Muffin Break to create muffins that can be eaten by those with an dairy intolerance or allergy is really great.
The dairy free range at Muffin Break is again fairly substantial and varies from a ‘Black Forrest’ Muffin to a ‘Banana Coconut’ Muffin & even the ever popular ‘Lemon & Poppyseed’ Muffin, plus lots more. It is great to see more and more free from diets are being considered in the mainstream.
The dairy free muffins looked amazing, however my one issue with them is… the dairy free muffins at Muffin Break are not gluten free!! So they have separate gluten free muffins and dairy free muffins… but they currently do not seem to cater for those who cannot eat gluten & dairy. This is disappointing in a way for Mark & I as we really enjoy being able to share our food! I guess, at least we are both catered for at Muffin Break.. it is a lot, lot better than most places!
Have you found a Muffin Break close by to you & tried their gluten free or dairy free muffins? What did you think of them? Let me know on Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram!
I really do hope that more cafes turn towards providing a large range of gluten free options, as well as dairy free options. I just hope that Muffin Break & others can go one step further & make muffins that are Gluten Free AND Dairy Free… not Gluten Free OR Dairy Free!
Thanks for reading,
