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

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!

I made it just how it says and it was so good! Next time I think I'll try some of the suggestions mentioned

The house smelled wonderful when I baked these muffins with a few adjustments. I used 1 cup each of whole wheat pastry and all purpose flour and 1/2 cup rolled oats. I reduced the sugar to 1 cup and used only 1/4 cup of canola oil and 1/4 cup applesauce instead of the 1/2 cup oil the recipe called for. Also, I took the advice of other reviewers and doubled the spices and added a pinch of ground cloves. By adding raisins to half the recipe and chopped pecans to the other half I was able to make 20 muffins from this recipe. They turned out tender and full of flavor. A perfect Fall muffin. Yum!

I would not even consider putting 2 cups of sugar as I feel it was way too much. I cut it down to 1/2 cup & found that was enough for me. I would make them again but would add more cinnamon. I also, cut the oil in half using 1/4 cup canola oil & 1/4 cup applesauce. I add pecans as well.

Great recipe! I did add double, (or for the cinnamon i added triple) the spices. Much needed! Instead of the full 21/2 cups flour I substatuted a half a cup of oats, it gave it some more texture.

Got so many compliments on them! The words amazing and out of this world were used several times!

This one got three thumbs up this morning around the breakfast table. The mix of the pumpkin and the apples was delicious. The only thing that worries me is the 2 cups of sugar - oh my. Would definitely make them again.

I used my homemade pumpkin butter and reduced the sugar by half. Substituted half of the oil w/ the pumpkin butter and used Canola. Nice flavors.

These were great! I replaced half of the oil with applesauce and used 1 cup of wheat flour. I agree that 30 minutes is too long for these muffins to bake. Baked mine for 25.
