First things first. They do not look like a conventional muffin (I'm thinking about sweet and breakfast muffins). They are more like two little loaves in individual cardboard baskets. There wasn't any of the delicious muffin top I love so much, which was disappointing.
Then I started eating one... they were actually really delicious! They still had all the density a normal blueberry muffin would have, and had a lovely texture. My only issue was there wasn't a lot of fruit in the muffin, considering it was fairly large. But it was still really filling, which was definitely a positive! I think I will definitely buy these for myself as a treat again.
Taste: Really delicious, a lovely thick, doughy muffin, and the cranberries and blueberries tasted really good together. It added just a little more something than your everyday blueberry muffin!
Price: £1.99. I bought mine on offer for £1.29 in Tesco. Reasonable for what it is, and compared to other gluten-free products.
Availability: According to Warburtons news website, they are available from Asda, Waitrose and Morrisons (found here), however I bought mine in Tesco.
Clearly labelled gluten-free? Yes, Warburtons display "Gluten Free" and "Wheat Free" on their gluten-free products, as well as the Coeliac UK crossed-grain logo.
Nutritional value: Not really very healthy! Very calorific and sugary just for one muffin. Like I said before, good as an occasional treat.
Comparison to the real thing: Similar texture and flavour of a normal muffin, I liked the flavour and it was just as filling as a real muffin (if not more!)
Overall rating: 8/10
Could have done with a bit more fruit in it, and I sort of missed the muffin top, but other than that all the other qualities made up for it! Lovely, sweet and dense.
