Unrefined Foods knows that back-to-school season can be a busy time for families, which is why the brand has just debuted a new lineup of whole grain frozen muffins.

Unrefined Foods was founded by parents Melissa Bermudez and Alex Lammers to give families a [convenient breakfast option](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reds-all-natural-snackers) without the highly processed ingredient list. The brand's new whole grain frozen muffins stay true to this mission with an ingredient list that includes organic, stone-milled whole grains and maple syrup as a natural sweetener. Even the flavors are similar to what you'd bake at home, ranging from [Banana Bread](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-bread-mix) and Loaded Blueberry to Cinnamon Swirl. Best of all, the frozen muffins are ready in just 30 seconds. As Melissa Bermudez, Co-Founder of Unrefined Foods, explains, "Convenience shouldn't require compromise. Busy families need packaged foods that are quickly and easy to eat on the go; they just deserve packaged foods made from healthy, wholesome ingredients they'd actually choose themselves."
