Tip

Big Batch Baked Goods

We 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

Mmmmm, mmmm, mmmm! That's the official review from my daughters.

I made these muffins with apples, with chocolate chips instead of apples, and plain. No matter what I did to them, they were very tasty. Possibly one of the best muffins that I've ever made.

These are so good! I substitute applesauce for all the oil, and they are still delicious. My daughter requests these instead of cupcakes for her birthday snack at school. My kids gobble these up!
