And Now We’re Gonna Talk Muffins (A Giveaway!)

by

***THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!***

We are quite fond of muffins around here for breakfast and snacks. Many times I will make them from scratch but I also TOTALLY appreciate the convenience of a boxed mix. Just add a couple of things and VOILA! into the oven they go!

Back before the holiday I was contacted by Duncan Hines to review and giveaway a box of two of their new flavors that contain 100% whole grains. I’m big on whole grain bread and other products made with whole grains. Combine that with muffins and I was SOLD!

I was sent a one box each of two flavors, Apple Cinnamon and Triple Chocolate Chunk.

They were both baked and consumed within the week. And they were both VERY tasty. The boys even ate the chocolate ones as dessert {and I may have done the same…}.

Each box makes 12 large muffins, which is good for our family because the boys will eat 1-2 for breakfast. And then there are usually also some left for breakfast the next day as well! The mix can also be made into 24 mini muffins, which I plan to make when I host a play date at our house later this month.

I definitely recommend these muffins for convenience, taste and the fact that each muffin has 3g of fiber.

So you wanna try them for yourself? You know you do! One lucky reader will receive a box of each flavor, Apple Cinnamon and Triple Chocolate Chunk! Trust me, if you and your kiddos like muffins (and really, who doesn’t?) you’ll love these and you get the added benefit of whole grains.

If you would like to win some free muffin mixes just leave a comment telling me your favorite muffin flavor. Please make sure I have a way to contact you if you are the winner. Leave an email address or if it’s tied to your blog account that’s fine too. If I cannot contact you, you cannot win

You can get an extra entry per day by tweeting this giveaway and leaving your link to your tweet in a separate comment.

And also, it’s Delurker Day 2010 so you SHOULD really leave a comment today. You can get a third entry by commenting on ANY other post of mine and leaving a comment here telling me you did so.

And please leave comments anywhere you go today! It’s fun!

Giveaway will close Friday, January 22nd at 11:59 p.m.

U.S. entrants only.

Enjoy!

  2. I’m in agreement with Lissa! Blueberry. Although I’ll take chocolate and apple cinnamon if I win! I won’t be looking a gift horse in the mouth!

  6. oh goodness, favorite muffin flavor… there are so many yummy ones to choose from! i guess i can narrow it down to blueberry and apple. mmmm, blueberry and apple together might be good too……
    thanks for having such a delicious contest! 🙂

  9. bannan nut, blueberry, and apple.. are my favs.. I would love to try the C. chunks I bet the kids would go crazy for them. So enter me in..
    I don’t twitter so I can’t do that.. but I did leave a comment on your You Capture winter post.. so does that count 🙂

  10. Hiya Elaine! Muffins? We like ’em around here! I think my fave is lemon poppyseed…but it’s hard to pick because I like trying lots of different flavors!

  11. My fav is Blueberry! We usually eat them as fast as they can be made! Love your blog by the way! Your little ones are super cute!!

  12. Mine is blueberry, but holy moly I could totally get behind some triple chocolate ones! Or else they’ll end up on my behind… or something like that!

    Happy DeLurker Day!

  13. My personal favorite is Chocolate Chip. The Triple Chocolate Chunk sound pretty good too. You know me Elaine, I love chocolate almost as much as you, if that is possible.

  17. Did I hear chocolate AND whole grains? I’m all over this. I’d love to win!

    I will surely try this out next week as we will be hosting a playdate as well 🙂

  20. for a treat I love the chocolate chip…for a healthy option I go q=with the bran or oat bran and add a few raisins and almonds..
    OPS: I live in Cda but have a US post box…if that makes me able to enter! If not no worries!

  22. Blueberry, Cream-Cheese and Cranberry! I love your blog and have been following it for some time now. I’ll be leaving more comments soon.

    By the way, I’m having a ‘Name Your Own Prize Giveaway’ on my blog. (1/12/10 – 1/18/10)

  41. Cranberry orange!!! Yum! And anything with cream cheese! Of course, chocolate is ALWAYS good! Those apple cinnamon look great, too!

  50. My favorite flavor I think is blueberry…with all those yummy crumblies on the top but i do have a new recipe for a pumpkin spice that is made with a yellow cake mix that the whole family really loves.

  61. Nothing beats a coffe cake muffin for me to chase away those too-early-in-the-morning blues!

  82. I would have to say chocolate…I am pregnant and anything chocolate is good for me or at least that is what I am craving.

  86. Did somebody say MUFFINS? I can’t think of a bad thing to say about MUFFINS!! In my opinion, no MUFFIN has a bad side! Although in my kids opinion you can’t go wrong with anything chocolate! I have been known to migrate to Blueberry MUFFINS! Did somebody say MUFFINS?!?!?!
    Thanks, Kim

  112. Mmmm….muffins! I have too many favorites to list just one. My go-to muffin flavor is probably lemon, but I also love apple, banana nut, chocolate and coconut…just to name a few more!

  149. Any thing with lots of stuff… i have my own I call “everything but the kitchen sink” just look the the cupboards and find what looks good…

  210. My favorite flavor would definitely be chocolate because I am a firm believer that life is not possible without chocolate, is it?

  216. My daughter and I absolutely love blueberry and chocolate muffins! We like other flavors as well, but these are probably our two favorites. Whole grain muffins sound even better! You may contact me at chrispelletier22@live.com.

  234. How wonderful you are doing this!! I found your freebie on the redplum website….xcellent! If I win….flavor for me and my fam is triple chunk chocolate all the way! Choc is #1 in our house, with banana nut coming in a very close second. Your doing a great thing for moms all over…keep it up! contact Lisa: consuela4hire@yahoo.com

  241. I am also a blueberry muffin girl but those DH chocolate muffins look like they are definitely worth a try!!

  243. It’s a toss up between chocolate chip and blueberry muffins…love them both. My son’s preschool class made blueberry muffins today after reading “”If You Give A Moose A Muffin.” They smelled so yummy: ) Michelle mmmfamily@comcast.net

  261. Okay- I love making, eating, and sharing home cooked goodness with my family. It’s a tossup for my favorites: Lemon-poppyseed, blueberry, or plum streusel muffins. They’re great anytime of the day!

  263. How can you chose between 2 great flavors. It’s a toughie, but I have to say the Apple Cinnamon. Yummmmy! Just the thought of that combination makes me hungry. I love the way it makes my kitchen and living room smell as it cooking. My hubby is a big cookie and muffin monster. I hope to get at least one of these. Many have to hide a few of them for me. Hope I win! Email is rbbrand3@gmail.com

  268. Great contest. I love blueberry muffins, but these Triple Choc Chunk sound great. I’ve been milling my own wheat berries for several months, so I’m very much into whole grains.

    I remember baking them with my grandmother every weekend when I was little, and blueberry muffins will always remind me of her!
