"Due to an increase in operating costs, Tim Hortons restaurants has changed the pricing on select baked goods and lunch items this week," a spokeswoman for the company said Friday.

The coffee and doughnut chain says the price of a muffin is five cents higher, while sandwiches have gone up by about 10 cents. The price of coffee has not changed.

Higher commodity prices - on ingredients from wheat to canola oil - are one factor in the hikes.

The last time Tim Hortons raised its prices was in April 2011, when menu prices jumped about 4.5 per cent to cover rising costs of commodities like coffee and the wheat and sugar used in baked goods.
