How much does a 6-pack or 12-pack of Tim Hortons muffins cost, and how much do you save?

A 6-pack box (Half Dozen) of assorted muffins costs $10.49 CAD, saving you approximately $2.65 compared to purchasing six single muffins ($13.14). A 12-pack box (Baker's Dozen) costs $18.99 CAD, saving you $7.29 compared to purchasing twelve single muffins ($26.28). You can mix and match any available flavours in your box.

What is the famous Canadian 'Grilled with Butter' Tim Hortons muffin ordering hack?

The 'Grilled with Butter' custom is an iconic Canadian Tim Hortons insider tradition. When ordering, simply ask your team member to 'cut and grill my muffin with butter.' The staff will slice the muffin horizontally, apply real Canadian butter, and toast it face-down on the flat-top panini press. This caramelizes the sugars, melts the chocolate or fruit center, and creates a crispy, golden toasted crust (+70 calories per butter pat).

Which Tim Hortons muffin has the lowest calories?

The Whole Grain Banana Pecan Muffin has the lowest calories on the Tim Hortons muffin menu at 340 calories and 10g of fat. Close runners-up are the Carrot Cake with Walnuts Muffin (360 calories, 13g fat) and the signature Fruit Explosion Muffin (360 calories, 12g fat).

Which Tim Hortons muffin has the highest dietary fiber?

The Raisin Bran Muffin is the undisputed fiber champion with 6 grams of dietary fiber per muffin, providing over 21% of your recommended daily fiber intake. The Whole Grain Banana Pecan Muffin is second with 4 grams of fiber.

Are Tim Hortons muffins healthier than donuts?

Surprisingly, no! Most Canadians assume muffins are lighter than donuts, but Tim Hortons muffins actually contain significantly MORE calories, fat, and carbohydrates. For example, a Chocolate Chip Muffin has 420 calories and 64g of carbs, whereas a classic Boston Cream Donut has only 240 calories and a Honey Dip Donut has just 220 calories. Muffins have denser flour batters, vegetable oils, and higher volume than fried airy yeast donuts.

What is inside the signature Tim Hortons Fruit Explosion muffin?

The Fruit Explosion Muffin features a spiced, cinnamon-hinted muffin batter with sweet whole berries, topped with crunchy oat streusel, and injected in the core with a burst of sweet and tart raspberry and apple fruit purée.

Do Tim Hortons muffins contain tree nuts or peanuts?

Two standard varieties explicitly contain tree nuts: the Carrot Cake with Walnuts Muffin (contains English walnuts) and the Whole Grain Banana Pecan Muffin (contains pecans). While recipes for Chocolate Chip and Blueberry do not contain nuts, Tim Hortons warns of potential allergen cross-contact because all bakery items are handled in shared restaurant display cases.

How long do Tim Hortons muffins stay fresh, and can you freeze them?

Tim Hortons muffins stay fresh at room temperature in a sealed bakery box or airtight container for 2 to 3 days. They freeze exceptionally well for up to 3 months: wrap individual muffins in plastic wrap and foil, then reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven or toaster oven for 8–10 minutes for a fresh-baked taste.

Are Tim Hortons muffins baked fresh in stores every day?

Yes! Tim Hortons muffins are baked fresh daily in restaurant ovens using specialized bakery pans and Tim Hortons proprietary batters. Leftover muffins are discarded after their strict daily freshness window to maintain high quality and moisture.

The Baking Science: Why Are Tim Hortons Muffins So Calorie-Dense?

While donuts are fried, yeast-raised donuts (like Honey Dip or Boston Cream) are filled with air pockets and weigh approximately 55 to 70 grams. In contrast, a Tim Hortons muffin is a heavy, moisture-dense cake weighing 115 to 130 grams—nearly double the mass! The flour, vegetable oil, chocolate chips, and sugar required to create that tender, moist bakery texture pack twice as much total mass into a single morning treat.

Canadian Ordering Secret

The Canadian “Grilled with Butter” Muffin Guide

If you have only eaten Tim Hortons muffins straight out of the display case, you are missing out on Canada's best-kept bakery secret: having your muffin sliced and toasted on the panini grill with real Canadian butter.

How to Order at Counter

Simply ask: “Can I get a [Flavour] Muffin cut and grilled with butter?”Team members do this every day across Canada at no extra labour cost.

Available at 100% of Canadian locations with panini presses.

The Flat-Top Griddle Magic

The muffin is sliced horizontally in half, generous real Canadian dairy butter is spread onto the cut face, and it is pressed onto parchment on the sandwich grill until a caramelized, crispy golden crust forms.

Crispy edges + warm, steaming fluffy interior!

Top 3 Flavours to Grill

Fruit Explosion: The warm raspberry center melts into liquid jam.
Chocolate Chip: Chocolate morsels turn into molten fudge.
Banana Pecan: Tastes exactly like toasted banana bread.

Nutrition note: +70 calories and +8g fat for butter.
