Even though I can make delicious banana nut muffins from scratch, I always go to Trader Joe's to get its Streusel Topped Wild Blueberry Muffins whenever I crave for blueberry muffins ($3.99 for a box of 4). They taste really natural and not overly sweet with the corn syrup that is widely used in a lot of cheap baked goods in discounted warehouses and the typical supermarket chain. They expire fast but they can be stored in the fridge and are really good for several days. They are light and fluffy after being warmed up in the microwave for 20 seconds. I also feel good and clean after eating them, which from my experience indicates that there is no hydrogenated vegetable shortening. I can't tolerate margarine and vegetable shortening because I feel nauseous every time when I consume a baked product that has it. Regardless what the bakery tells me, I can absolutely feel the presence of such hydrogenated oil because my body for some reason just rejects it every time and makes me feel sick. I like these muffins at Trader Joe's because they don't make me feel sick at all. Each muffin has 320 calories and it's good for my portion control for breakfast. I stick to only consume less than 500 calories for breakfast. I don't think I can make these muffins any cheaper based on my hourly pay at my job. Between spending an extra hour at work and spending an hour making my own blueberry muffins, I'd rather get them from Trader Joe's. I still will make my own if only I can find a really good recipe and I have the free time:)
