Big Batch Baked GoodsWe enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

I just made a batch - smlled wonderful and tasted just as good.I modified the recipe a teeny bit, mde half because I only wanted to end up with dozen. I still used 2 eggs. I also added a couple tbl of crushed walnuts to the streusel topping.

Oh, also, I used canned organic sweet potato instead of pumpkin, which may have made the difference. Pumpkin can be a little bland I think, but sweet potatoes are more flavorful naturally.
These are super easy and really delish. I reduced the sugar by about a half cup, and used half dark brown/half white. I sprinkled turbinado on top. Personally definitely would not double the spices as some have suggested. Most importantly though, DO NOT COOK FOR 30-35 MINUTES. Knowing muffins never take that long, I started watching them at about 20 and they were done between 20-25 mins.

Needs a Brown sugar mix on top. My son in-law can't stand cooked apple but he liked these

I made these for my Mom's Group but wasn't overly impressed. I made modifications as described by other reviewers (oatmeal, applesauce, increased spices) but overall I thought they were just ok. Very dense- didn't rise like a traditional muffin. So they looked little in the muffin cups (I ended up peeling all the cups off before I served them because I thought it looked better). The taste wasn't bad, but just not what worthy to be made again. I'll keep looking for a pumpkin muffin recipe.

Very moist and delicious, but I did make some changes. I used 2 cups of white whole wheat flour, 1 c. sugar, egg whites, applesauce for all of the oil and added pumpkin pie spice and some dried cranberries. Still tastes great without all of the extra fat.

This recipe is wonderful! Spicy, easy and hearty. I added 1 cup each of old fashioned rolled oats and raisins to add extra nutrition value and absolutely love the way it turned out. Very impressed!
