    Tasted good but expensive

    We got coupons for these muffins from Product Review Club. We purchased our box from Metro. My first impression was that the package was nice and they are easy to spot at the bakery section. I could tell right away that these muffins are loaded with fibre and I know they are relatively fresh since the expiry date was not far off. However, at $4.99 for 4 medium sized muffin, I found it expensive and I don't think I will buy them again without coupons/discounts.

    As for the taste, I enlisted my kids to help with the review, ages 8, 6 and 3. My kids thought the wrapper was hard to open and they didn't like it; however, I disagree. I thought the wrapper was easy to open because it was pretty thin. What I didn't like about the wrap was that it was plastic and it is not environmentally friendly. But it did make breakfast on-the-go to be easier.

    Two of my kids (8 and 3) and I liked these muffins. There was just the right amount of chocolate and the high fibre content gave the muffins a nice chewy texture. I especially love the oat sprinkles on the top but I thought overall, the muffin was a little too sweet. Fun enough, my 6-yr-old didn't like this one as much as the Fruit & Fibre; she thought it was too chocolatey.

    Overall, these are great on-the-go snacks because they are handy, kids like them and they are tastey. But $4.99/box + tax is a little too pricey for my budget.

    Good Healthy Muffin

    I got to try these muffins for free and I did like them. I found them to be a little on the dry side and could of used some more chocolate chips (guess that would make it less healthy haha) but over all I enjoyed the muffins. I liked that all the ingredients were simple.
    I would buy these muffins to snack on if they were a little cheaper, they were $4.99 for a box of 4 at Metro. I have already recommended them to friends looking for a healthy snack.

    Great for breakfast

    I got these muffins for free, and would recommend them if you don't have time to make them yourself. It is an affordable choice compared to a coffee shop muffin. They were very moist and satisfying. The oatmeal made the muffins hearty and filling, while the chocolate tasted great without making it overly sweet. I also didn't find it too dense as common with oatmeal muffins. The flavour was not artificial and I enjoyed it for breakfast and it would be good for an afternoon snack. All in all it was surprisingly good for a grocery store muffin!

    A tasty breakfast, or snack!

    I received a coupon as one of the lucky chickadvisors asked to review these muffins! #gotitfree. The product gave me about a week on the code date, and the product remained fresh as the day I purchased them with the coupon. The chocolate tastes excellent, and seems to settle near the bottom of the muffin which gives a sweet treat to every bite. I had the muffins both, as a snack, and a breakfast on the go. The individually wrapped muffins made the breakfast on the go an easy choice as it didn't leave a crumbly mess in the bottom of my bag. As a premade muffin I was pleased I had a fresh baked taste as if I had purchased it from a place such as Tim Hortons. I loved the oats on the muffin top it also added a nice touch to the flavour! I am looking forward to trying the other muffins in the Good and Simple brand!

    A muffin by any other name...

    Like many other reviewers I received a coupon to try out Good & Simple's Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Muffins. I found this product as recommend at Freshco for $4.49 for a box of four individually wrapped muffins while being $3.97 for the same amount at Walmart. Being individually wrapped the muffins were easy to throw into a lunch bag but I could have just as easily put the muffin into my own reusable container and avoided the extra bit of waste.

    I was a little disappointed that the "oatmeal" was a small sprinkling on top of the muffin and not mixed throughout. While I don't object to the taste of these muffins I didn't find anything that would make them stand out to me against other products of the same variety.
    Personally I likely will not purchase this product again as I don't often snack on baked goods and nearly $5 for four muffins seems a bit costly for me as I could easily pay that $5 and get six muffins at Freshco.

    I'm very unsure what to make of this branding. Yes the snacks did taste good and had simple ingredients listed on the box but to me it seems as if they are being marketed as a "healthier alternative" to other baked snacks. A quick online search of the brand didn't help clarify this either as all I could find were links back to other reviewers here on Chickadvisor and a Facebook page that rehashed all the information found on the box.

    4 in a box

    I #gotitfree for review. These were very flavourful. I found the texture and moistness excellent. I found them better than an average store-bought muffin. The individual packaging made them convenient for lunches. But, They were very sweet. I can imagine them as an occasional treat- instead of a Starbucks muffin, but couldn't eat them routinely.
    I also thought that they were a bit much for 4 small muffins in a box.

    These muffins are ok for a quick snack or breakfast

    I found these at FreshCo and was excited to try them as we have an 8 month old and I'm always looking for quick snack ideas.

    I really liked the fact that they came in pre-wrapped plastic to keep them fresh longer.

    They tasted just ok to me - nothing special but would work if you wanted something quick.

    Homemade quality with store-bought ease!

    These muffins were very yummy. So moist and flavourful it most tastes homemade. I'll definitely tell my friends about it. A low fat option would be great so they could be a bit more Weight Watchers friendly.

    BEST MUFFINS EVERRRR

    These muffins are so moist and soft. These muffins are AWESOME juicy moist everything you want in. A muffin. Price is fair. they are some of the best packaged muffins I've tried. i buy them for lunch boxes and last minute breakfasts on the run. they are kinda small, but enough for a small breakfast to fill you up.

    A good healthy snack for a sweets craving

    Pleasantly surprised by this item! I love carbs and sugar (who doesn't!), but try to avoid heavier snacks like muffins because I end up crashing from the sugar and feeling uncomfortably full after eating it.

    This was a really tasty snack, and not overly sweet. I was happy to read the ingredients and definitely would purchase again. Also, my husband loved them!
