    Healthy wholesome snack for the whole family!

    I tried the Good and Simple Chocolate Oatmeal muffins and I liked that they are individually wrapped making it easy to take on the go. At first glance, they looked a good size and looked healthy already. The taste I enjoyed. The cholcate chips were not too sweet for me, almost tasted like a dark chocolate. There was maybe not enough chocolate chips in them so the oatmeal overpowered it slightly more and left a gritty feeling in my mouth. Also with each bite, the muffin seemed to crumble and make a mess. It would be difficult to contain the crumbs if I had my children eat it. My 5 year old daughter ate it all but halfway through, she asked for a plate and fork because it was too messy in terms of the muffin falling apart with each bite. Despite this, she said it was delicious and I love having healthier more wholesome snack options for my kids to enjoy with no artificial ingredients.

    I would continue to buy this product

    I loved the fact that these muffins come individually wrapped not only for freshness but great for lunches. They were very fresh & tasty as well as healthy at the same time which was a bonus.

    Easy to Eat

    The muffin was easy to eat as it was soft and chewy. The muffin less the chocolate chips didn't have much flavour. It basically tasted like any plain flour bread product. It would have been nice to have cinnamon or a nutmeg hint in the batter. It could have a few more oats inside and around the muffin.
    Like the packaging with the open window to see the muffins.

    Already on the second box!

    I don't usually purchase store bought muffins because I find once you open them they go stale quickly. I was pleasantly surprised that each muffin was individually wrapped which keeps them fresh and makes grabbing on the go easy. The taste was amazing they were moist and not to sweet. Everyone in our family loved them especially our super picky son. I still prefer making my own muffins but these will definitely have a place in our snack cupboard. My only problem was finding the item. Both Metro stores near me as well as the FreshCo did not carry them and the bakery staff looked at me like I was crazy when I asked about them. I did find them finally at a Metro store further away and was surprised to find them displayed in the wall near the bagels and English muffins. I thought they would be on an end cap or with the rest of the muffins. I am glad I found them though. I sent my husband back to get a second box once we tried them.

    Great snack for on the go, and kids loved them

    Great snack for on the go, and kids loved them

    These boxes of individually-wrapped muffins (4 in each pack) are really good for traveling! The only drawbacks are that they get smooshed easily, are not as eco-friendly as they could be with the thin plastic wrap, and the muffins themselves are quite crumbly and can make a mess (especially for little kids).

    I really liked that the ingredient list is quite basic, though I'd have preferred that palm oil (second last on the list) was replaced with a different, less eco-unfriendly ingredient.

    The muffins don't taste super sweet, which I love! The two flavors I chose, Chocolate Chip Oatmeal and Fruit & Fiber, have 18 g and 17 g of sugar per 85 g muffin, so that works out to approximately each muffin being 21% and 20% sugar. I'm guessing it's also partly because they're quite fluffy, and ingredients like rolled oats and bran, respectively, help to offset the sweetness. Also a plus: the sugar content is present in the form of actual sugar and brown sugar, and not something like high-fructose corn syrup.

    The Chocolate Chip Oatmeal muffins contain 3 g of fiber per muffin, which is not bad. The fat content is 13 g, and it contains 15% of the RDA for calcium. (Overall, the Fruit & Fiber flavor is more healthful, and to be honest, my kids liked both, so I'd go for the Fruit & Fiber every time over the Chocolate Chip Oatmeal.) The texture was soft and fluffy, and while they pretty much do taste like a health-food version of a chocolate thing, they're really pretty good. My kids (1 and 3) loved these—though they're pretty much into anything carb-y! They do make a huge mess eating these crumbly muffins, though.

    At CA$4.99 for a box of four muffins, these aren't the cheapest snacks, so I would probably only buy them (more likely in the Fruit & Fiber flavor, as I mentioned above) as a travel treat now and then, if they're on sale. They're a nice option to have in the grocery, though, and I'd be interested in trying the bars, too. I just didn't see any in my store at the time.

    (I received two boxes free via ChickAdvisor.)

    Good for school Lunches

    These muffins were quite tasty but a little dry for my taste but daughter really liked them. They aren't huge and would be perfect to pack in a school lunch. And I like the fact there isn't a lot of extra ingredients in them.

    Good product

    I trialled this product thanks to chick advisor for free. It tasted good and my kids liked it too. They are not as good as home made but the packaging kept them fresh.
    I'd likely but them in the future

    Great fresh wholesome taste!

    I was pleasantly surprised with the taste of this packaged muffin. I usually stay away from packaged baked goods but this one I LOVED!! The muffin was not on the sweet side at all which I liked. Oatmeal and chocolate chip is a delicious combination to begin with and to put it together with wholesome ingredients that Im okay with is a win win, The price on these are 4.99 for a pack of 4 which is a little pricey but I will pick up when there is a sale!

    Worth it if you buy your breakfast

    I wasn't a fan of the package when i picked it up because all the boxes were damp. Not really sure why but all of them were dewy and wet but regardless i picked one up. I love the fact that they're made with no artificial flavours or colour. They're 4.99 for a box of 4, so if you typically go to the coffee shop to pick up a muffin this this is a great alternative. I love Chocolate oatmeal and it tasted just like the ones I make at home.

    Yummy!

    I #gotitfree from ChickAdvisor. These muffins are perfect for busy mornings, you can grab them and go without feeling bad that you are eating chocolate for breakfast. Great taste and they are the perfect size. I hope I can continue to find these in my local stores.
