Trader Joe’s Tuesday: Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins

Trader Joe’s Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins

Tastes Like:  sweet and hearty, complex and SO SO moist muffins…maybe it’s the maple here, but these are so sticky and soft and gushy (yes, I may have just made up a word) that even muffin haters (do they exist?  Shunnnn the muffin haterz) will shut up when they have a face full of these muffins.  Remember the Gluten-Free Chocolate Cupcakes?  Clearly, Trader Joe knows how to bake for Gluten-Freegans.  (I made up another word, call me Shakespeare!)

Great With:  I’m about to blow your mind:  Trader Joe’s Whipped Cream Cheese.

Yeah, I know.  My boyfriend didn’t believe me until he had one, either.  I sliced the muffin in half vertically (which was a little difficult, TBH, because of how lusciously soft and moist it was) and gave it a lengthy toast cut-side-down in the ol’ toaster oven.  After cooling, I slathered a dab of Trader Joe’s Whipped Cream Cheese and EXCEPTIONAL MOUTH FEEL.  The muffin that had toasted was rough and crumbly in just the right way, while the rest stayed moist and soft.  The cream cheese was like frosting…in fact, if you’re lazy, you could frost the muffins with the cream cheese like as though they was cupcakes or something.  Your prerogative.

Perfect For:  all-inclusive brunch, or let’s be real: these are great for eating for dinner after a long-hard day.  Tastes like dessert.

Must Know:  They’re Gluten-Free!  Go forth and spread the word!  But they aren’t vegan, so you know, don’t share.

Costs:  $3.99 for a box of muffins, which is a bit of an indulgence, but so very well worth it.  Gluten-free baked goods are rarely baked good, so take advantage of these!
