# Tea-Infused Mini Muffins The Earl Grey and Blackberry Muffins From Tasty Yummies are Grain-Free By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-05-14 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackberry-muffins References: [tasty-yummies](http://tasty-yummies.com/2015/05/14/grain-free-blackberry-earl-grey-mini-muffins/) If you love that classic English earl grey flavor, you will absolutely adore these blackberry muffins. The tea-infused recipe is also made for people with dietary restrictions in mind, as they are grain-free. Created by food blogger Beth of Tasty Yummies, the Grain-Free Blackberry Earl Grey Mini Muffins are the delicious backed goods you can bring to a potluck too. The bite-sized treats are an amazing on the go snack. Beth describes how "the blackberries bring a pop of bright fresh flavor, slightly sweet and a little tart, offset by the moody and distinctive citrus flavor and aroma of the earl grey tea." To make grain-free blackberry muffins, you will need blanched almond flour. You can also substitute ground tea for an herbal option or add finely chopped fresh mint and orange zest. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Grain-free Baking:** Opportunity for companies to create and market more grain-free baked goods due to increased demand from health-conscious consumers. - **Tea-infused Recipes:** Opportunity for food and beverage companies to innovate and create unique tea-infused recipes as a marketing strategy. - **On-the-go Snacking:** Opportunity for companies to create and market more bite-sized snacks that are convenient for on-the-go consumption. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Bakery Industry:** Opportunity for bakeries to develop grain-free alternatives to traditional baked goods. - **Tea Industry:** Opportunity for tea companies to partner with food companies to create unique tea-infused recipes. - **Convenience Food Industry:** Opportunity for convenience food companies to expand their product line to include more bite-sized, on-the-go snacks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tea-Infused Fruity Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teafusions-waffle-cookies.md) - [Cherry Dessert Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cherry-bakewell-brew.md) - [Artisan Tea-Infused Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earl-grey-white-chocolate.md) - [Gluten-Free Fruit Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-strawberry-muffins.md) - [Rice Flour Blueberry Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-blueberry-muffins.md) - [Citrusy Free-From Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemon-streusel-muffin.md) - [Modernized Earl Grey Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-day-earl-grey.md) - [Free-From Breakfast Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breakfast-muffins.md) - [Protein-Packed Mini Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prime-bites-mini-muffins.md)
