Know Our Story
Founder
In 2014, self-taught baker Laura Grinstead transformed her home kitchen into a testing ground for healthy and delicious baked goods. With the support of family and friends, she refined her signature recipes and before long, demand for her muffins increased and MerryMuffins was born.
Laura resides in the Tanglewood neighborhood of Houston, Texas, with her husband, cardiologist Dr. Carter Grinstead and their three children. In South Texas, where Laura grew up, it is customary to gift food for special occasions and Laura grew up baking during the holidays. By combining the love of gift giving with the commitment to healthy living, Laura discovered her passion.
Laura stays up to date with the latest trends and advancements in Health and Nutrition and incorporates them into her baking. She holds certificates in Nutrition, Chronic Disease, Integrated Mental Health, and Health Promotion from the University of Houston. This long-time Bikram yogi and self-professed health enthusiast is dedicated to combining the best ingredients without compromising taste.
In addition to her work as the founder and owner of MerryMuffins, Laura also dedicates her time to volunteer service. She has spent years volunteering for her children's schools, church and various organizations. Laura and her family are long time members of St. Lukes United Methodist Church and she is also an Advisory Board member of Kids’ Meals as well as a f.r.e.s.h. member of Houston Food Bank.

Without a doubt the best part about MerryMuffins has been the people I’ve met through this business. God works in such amazing ways and I am so thankful for the special people I have encountered through the simplicity of providing healthy muffins. I feel that food should taste wonderful, be an enjoyable experience, and ultimately serve you nutritionally.
