9 YEARS OF MUNCH 🎉

On 20 October 2017, the very first Munch sign went up in Downtown Palmerston North.

What started as an idea to create somewhere people with food allergies and dietary requirements could enjoy eating out safely has grown into something pretty special.

From our little beginnings in Downtown to our much bigger home on Broadway, what a journey it's been.

Over the past nine years we've welcomed thousands of customers, made wonderful friendships, watched families grow and shared plenty of laughs, coffees and good food along the way.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported Munch, whether you've been coming since those early Downtown days or have only recently discovered us. And to all the staff, past and present, who have helped make Munch what it is today, thank you.

We wouldn't be here without you. ❤️

Now we'd love to hear from you.

Do you remember the original Munch in Downtown? What was your first memory of Munch? Perhaps a favourite dish, a special occasion or something that's stuck with you over the years.

Tell us in the comments. We'd love to reminisce with you. ❤️

❤️ School holidays, hungry kids and the fridge door never closing.

These gluten free savoury muffins are simple, filling and freezer friendly.

🥣 Gluten Free Savoury Muffins with Dairy Free option, use Soy free flour if needed

Ingredients

Dry ingredients
200 g gluten free all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
150 g grated cheddar cheese
For dairy free use dairy free cheese

Wet ingredients
2 large eggs
120 ml buttermilk or plain yoghurt
For dairy free use plant based milk such as soy, coconut or tigernut
60 ml olive oil
1 tsp apple c***r vinegar

Optional add ins
100 g diced ham or cooked bacon
2 spring onions, finely chopped
½ red pepper, finely chopped
1 tsp dried or fresh herbs such as thyme, parsley, rosemary or oregano
1 cup spinach, chopped raw

🥣 Method
1. Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with oil spray.

2. Mix the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper and grated cheese. This helps distribute the raising agent evenly.

3. Mix the wet ingredients
In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the buttermilk or yoghurt, olive oil and apple c***r vinegar and mix until well combined.

4. Bring it together
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined.

5. Add the fillings
Fold through the ham or bacon, spring onions, red pepper, herbs and spinach until evenly mixed through.

6. Fill the tin
Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each one about two thirds full.

7. Bake
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

8. Cool and serve
Leave the muffins in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

📢 Gluten free baking is better if you can wait a bit until it cools. Very hot baking can be sticky and gluggy which is fixed my leaving to cool slightly.
