Try it Tuesday.....Fiber One Muffin Mix

I finally got around to trying the Fiber One Muffin Mix.
I made a batch of the Apple Cinnamon flavored this morning. The mix has chunks of little apple and smells heavenly while it's baking. Mmm. It's made by adding milk, oil and 2 eggs. Sorry to give that bit of news to the people who can't tolerate milk. The mix makes 12 regular sized muffins. They bake up fast at about 17 minutes (in my oven). I'm not usually a big fan of apple cinnamon anything, but these were really tasty! It kind of reminds me of Friendship Bread, but with apple chunks. I ate mine warm and my hubby ate his slathered in margarine. Ick. Not me. Anyway, they contain 130 calories, 3 grams of fat and 5 grams of fiber. The fiber brings the WW points down to 2 per muffin. What a great buy for only 2 pts! And filling too in my opinion. Now, if they would just make a chocolate muffin with chunks of the yummy stuff for the same stats! I'll keep dreaming I guess.

Speaking of flavors for these muffins. I didn't see any other flavor on the shelf. The box says it's a "limited edition". Hmm. I looked at the website and there seems to be only ONE flavor of the muffin mix! What a bummer! I guess I've never seen a company that only makes one flavor of muffin mix. Am I wrong? Am I just not seeing the other flavors at the website? Go ahead and correct me if I'm wrong. I hope I am.

I might try the Fiber One Yogurt sometime soon. I like the Fiber One cereal, when some people find it to be a bit, "twiggy". I think it's just sweet enough to not have too much of a, "twiggy" taste. Plus I like to use it to make Haystacks and to crunch it up for a coating on baked chicken. I learned that trick from Hungry Girl. Click here for a Parmesan Chicken recipe made with Fiber One.\

EDIT: Today, September 8, 2008, I noticed in the Meijer ad that Fiber One Muffin Mix now comes in Banana Nut too. YUM! I can't wait to try it!


Besides the Fiber One muffins, I tried some Mentos Gum this week.

Eh. It was ok. They come in a cute flip-top container. They are sugar free which is always a plus for me. I tried the cherry lime and it was like I said...just ok. Nothing special. They are round like Mentos candies. The center is a liquid lime flavor. Not much more I can say about it. It's just gum that is ordinary. My favorite gum by far is Stride. They make several flavors of sugar free gum. I tried them a long time ago when they first came out. They were offering free packs. You know I like free. What I like about Stride, besides the flavor, is that it lasts and lasts. Normally, I'm done with gum after about 10 minutes. Stride still has flavor for over an hour. Can't beat that.
