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

***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!
