The Hummingbird Bakery has branched out from its specialism in sweet treats with a new range of sweet and savoury muffins.
The London-based brand – which is usually known for its American-style range of cupcakes, celebration cakes, brownies, pies, and cheesecakes – has now launched muffins at its six retail sites and online in flavours of Margarita Pizza, ‘Nduja & Honey Pizza, Double Chocolate Dulce, and Blueberry Pie as well as a limited-edition Tiramisu muffin. A box of six muffins is priced at £18 via its website.
The new range is said to be the result of years of research, trials, and taste testing. “From sunrise to snacktime there’s a scrumptious muffin for every moment and each one is baked fresh each day and packed with The Hummingbird Bakery’s signature flair in a variety of drool-worthy sweet and savoury flavours,” said the company.
The Margarita Pizza Muffin is made with tomato passata, oregano, cheddar and mozzarella cheese, topped with even more cheese, while the ‘Nduja & Honey Pizza Muffin is similar but including spicy Italian ‘Nduja sausage plus a drizzle of honey.
On the sweet side there’s the Blueberry Pie Muffin, a twist on a classic that features a vanilla muffin base with sweet blueberries and an oat crumble topping, along with the new Double Chocolate Dulce variety, which comprises a rich chocolate muffin with milk chocolate chips baked inside, topped with a chocolate crumble and a dollop of dulce de leche.
Double chocolate and dulce de leche is the exact same combination that is employed by Abba Cakes in it’s The Chocolate Cake, which was recently crowned Britain’s Best Cake 2025.
Lastly, there’s the Tiramisu Muffin, available from 19 May for a limited time only. This is made up of a coffee muffin with milk chocolate chips, topped with cream cheese frosting and a dusting of cocoa powder.
Coinciding with The Hummingbird Bakery’s muffins range launch is a new coffee partnership with Illy, which sees a brand-new drinks menu created for stores in Victoria, South Kensington, Notting Hill, St John’s Wood, Spitalfields, and its most recent site in Soho. A special offer running from 19 to 25 May sees a muffin and beverage combo costing only £4.
