KANSAS CITY, Mo. – As the need for on-the-go snacks continues to increase, Hostess has introduced new Mini Muffins in three flavors, chocolate chip, blueberry and birthday cake, available on store shelves this month. The new recipe incorporates the nutritional benefit of 8 grams of whole grain per serving.

In addition to being a good source of whole grain, Hostess’s new Mini Muffins contain no high fructose corn syrup, no partially hydrogenated oil and 0 grams of transfat. The blueberry variety contains real fruit, and the chocolate chip flavor includes real chocolate.

“With the addition of whole grain to our Mini Muffins recipe, moms can give their kids a snack they love and also one they feel good about,” said Becky Logan, senior brand manager at Hostess Brands. “While they’re still a sweet indulgence, stocking your pantry with Mini Muffins has a nutritional upside as well.”
