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

These muffins are amazing! I used tart, Granny Smith apples for a more distinctive taste. They're the best straight out of the oven! A lot of oil, though. I'm going to try my next batch with the applesauce substitution.

Made this as a bread. Delicious. I used fresh pumpkin. This recipe is a keeper, very moist and flavorful. YUM!

Deliciously different. Would not change a thing!

The crumb topping wasn't at all crumbly - more of a paste. I broke it up with my hands and put it on top of the batter. It sort of just melted over the top. Tasted fine, just hard to work with. Less butter and more flour or oatmeal would make it better I think. Muffins (actually I made some muffins and some mini loaves of bread) were very tasty and moist. 2 other things I changed were substituting 1/4c applesauce for 1/4c of the oil (to cut the fat), and added chopped pecans on the top of the crumb topping on some of the muffins.
