Because they possess oversized craniums and are frequently English, muffins are commonly perceived to be more intelligent than they actually are. Treat yourself to a brilliant breakfast with today's Groupon: for $7, you get six muffins of your choice (a $15 value) at Connecticut Muffin. You can also combine two Groupons for a full dozen. Choose to redeem your Groupon at one of six Brooklyn locations:

• 423 Myrtle Avenue
• 206 Prospect Park West
• 115 Montague Street
• 171 7th Avenue
• 1106 Cortelyou Road
• 59 Lafayette Avenue

Since it opened at its original Park Slope location, Connecticut Muffin has spread throughout Brooklyn and expanded its lineup of muffin flavors. Not content with such common muffin flavors as "blandberry," "burnt umber," and "muffin," the warmly scented shop puts a tongue-mesmerizing twist on each varietal. Assemble a six-pack of delights out of coffee-cake yogurt, honey banana bran, raisin bran, and lemon-poppy yogurt. Fitness enthusiasts training to be the first person to slow-motion dive across the English Channel can enjoy their share of muffin tops without sporting one of their own with healthy options such as 5-grain low fat, low-fat blueberry apple, cranberry pear low fat, and morning glory (carrot cake). Free WiFi allows patrons to politely headbutt Emily Post by chatting with their mouths full.

Muffins are the traditional gift for third-minute anniversaries and make a sweet "thank you" to coworkers for finally letting you out of the broom closet. Start your morning with something sweeter than the usual hot-coffee shower courtesy of today's Groupon to Connecticut Muffin.

Muffins are subject to availability. Customers must call the Cortelyou location to place orders at least 24 hours in advance for one dozen muffins or more, but orders placed in advance are accepted for any amount.
