Genius Gluten Free - Blueberry Muffins
More cake today! It does seem that all I eat is cake, but I promise I don't! The people at Genius sent me a couple of products to try that I had yet to get hold of. The blueberry muffins were the first thing I got out the box as I love having these as a sweet treat breakfast with a thick fruity smoothie. I didn't even know that they made blueberry muffins until they reached out to me.
A pack of these muffins will retail for around £1.99 and contain two large muffins. I find that the price is very reasonable and is something that most people can afford, at roughly £1 each they seem like a good treat. Particularly when comparing to mainstream bakeries who would happily charge £1-£1.50 for a regular muffin.
This product is gluten, wheat and dairy free, however it does contain eggs, so it is not suitable for egg allergy suffers but it is safe for coeliacs and vegetarians.
This muffin will set you back 352 calories but are incredibly filling and kept me satisfied until lunch. See chart below for full nutritional information.

I found that there was a good amount of blueberries incorporated in the muffins and to my surprise the majority had stayed whole. They were in no way sharp, just perfectly sweet and the flavour absorbed into the mixture. The sponge is very typical of a genius product, very aerated, slightly greasy in texture but in no way grease laden, more like a slight butteriness, although this product is dairy free.
I think these will be perfect with the lemon cupcakes at an easter party. I love anything festive!
