Tastes good but a little gritty

I was sent this product for review. It wasn't easy finding the banana bran muffins because most of the stores near me didn't carry it. Once I found it, I was surprised by the size in comparison to the price. I would expect for $5 for 4 muffins that they would be oversized but they were small to regular size. They did taste good but the muffins had a bit of a gritty texture.

convenient muffins on the go

I got a coupon to try these muffins free of charge. Thanks Chic Advisor! A package retails for $4.99 plus tax. It contains 4 individually wrapped muffins, which makes it very handy to toss one in a lunch bag. They taste good and the banana flavour really comes through and hides the bran. The texture is a bit oily. I pinched a bit of the muffin and my fingers were left with an oily residue. The muffins are not very large but they have 290 calories with over 30 grams of carbs each. There are certainly more items in the ingredients list than would be present in a batch of homemade muffins. Convenience is their best feature.

A decent store bought muffin

As someone who tends to bake her own if she's going to have a muffin, these are pretty good for a store-bought muffin. They are definitely moist, the banana flavour was tasty, and I appreciate the fact they are individually wrapped. If it came down to one of these muffins, or buying something from a coffee shop, I'd go with these.

Glad they were free

these were ok. Nothing special and a bit bland. My kid didn't even eat them. I am glad that they were free and I won't be buying them again. They seem like good quality but overall...mehh!

Good & Simple, name says it all!

I am a snacker, always have been, always will be so was super happy to test these out when i #gotitfree via ChickAdvisor.

Muffins aren't a go to every day or even every week snack for me as i can find them calorie laden and often not worth it. But i do bake my own, grab at a coffee shop or buy pre-packaged if the mood strikes or need an on the go snack.

These were pretty tasty. Lovely banana flavour which tasted like real bananas rather than artificial flavouring. I felt they also had a slight nut taste to them, but there was no mention of there being a pecan/walnut component.

I also loved that they were individually wrapped, easy to throw in a gym bag, lunch bag or grab on the way out the door without having to find a container or baggy.

Something i didn't like about these is that they get "sweaty", which is a pet peeve of mine when it comes to muffins. Its understandable as they are each in an individual wrapper but it did put me off a little. My boyfriend on the other hand, didn't care and really loved them.

I was also a little shocked by the calorie count. With muffins i tend to not know the calorie count as i buy in single form, dont read the label or bake them myself, i do know they are high calorie so thats probably for the best. Giving these a full look over/review i did l want look at the nutritional values however. And for such a small muffin, it seemed high.


I think the price point is a little high. Even though i didnt buy them this time around i wouldnt pay full price for them. Would i buy them if i wanted an on the go snack and they were on special..quite possibly.

I enjoyed this product a lot.

These muffins tasted so good. I definitely plan on telling my friends about this. The muffins were soft and moist. The flavor was great. The calories are a little high but that's ok. This is a product I will buy again.

Tastes good but would buy fresh for price

The taste was good. I got this free but I would not buy. Priced at 5 to 6 dollars for 4 muffins. If I wasn't making myself I would buy fresh from bakery for same price.

Good & Simple Individually Wrapped Banana Bran Muffins

This was a great snack and the banana bran flavour was very pleasant. I found that the price was a little steep for 4 muffins at $4.99 making them $1.25 a piece. I liked that they are individually wrapped which makes them great for taking on the go. There are no artificial colours or flavours and they use real bananas inside their recipe. There is 3 grams of fibre per 1 muffin and it is recommended that you microwave the muffin for 10 seconds for that "oven baked taste." I tracked down my box at Metro but it was a little hard to find in the bakery section. There are 15 grams of fat per 1 muffin, 1.5 is saturated fat, 290 grams of sodium, 33 grams of carbohydrates and 14 grams of sugar which is rather high. I am glad that I #GotItFree to be able to try out a new brand.
