Dawn Foods’ (Evesham, Worcs) new concentrate is 97% fat free with a sodium content of less than 300mg per 100g serving.

The concentrate requires the addition of flour, sugar and water, and can be used with inclusions, says Dawn. Inclusions need to be fat free so as not to compromise the total fat content of the finished product, it adds.

The concentrate produces a soft muffin without the ‘rubbery’ mouthfeel often associated with low-fat products, says the company.

Dawn’s premium Adore range of individually wrapped muffins includes a triple chocolate and a blueberry and redcurrant muffin.

The company offers a selection of muffin sizes from mini muffins to the jumbo muffin. New flavours include lemon and sultana, oat bran and raisin, and raspberry and apple.

To enable bakers to put their own signature on the basic products a semi-finished ‘Scoop and Bake’ muffin batter can hold a whole range of inclusions, says the company. It is available in vanilla, double choc, blueberry and blackcurrant and raspberry varieties.
