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

Made a lot of muffins! Nice and light. Would have liked to have tasted more apple flavor.

wonderful recipe! I made half a batch and had to stop the kids from eating them all at once. It will replace my favorite muffin recipe.

Sooooo good!! I made a half batch and used mini muffin pans so they were bite sized, within 10min of coming out of the over my 2 young boys ate a dozen of them! Someone below suggested less sugar which I also did and they were still nice and sweet! Super easy, perfect for breakfast or to send to school! Only mistake I made was not making a full batch! :)

My kids love these for breakfast or a quick snack. I keep a batch of these on hand all the time for those times when we're running for the kids and they need a quick snack.

I added a little buttermilk since batter seemed dry and they were a little heavy. But my family liked them. Next time I'll follow the recipe after reading that everyone else thought they were moist. I used unsweetened applesauce and they were plenty sweet. I cut the recipe in half and it made exactly 12 muffins. This recipe rates a place in my recipe box, absolute keeper. I like the idea of the streusel topping; will try that too.

I reduced the applesauce to 1-3/4 cup and added 1/4 cup apple butter. Also added a chopped apple. Loved the more intense apple flavor!

This is a great muffin recipe. I made a mini version for my daughter's preschool. I substituted 2 c. wheat flour and, when I make them again, would reduce the sugar significantly (maybe to 1 c.). They were very sweet, even though I had used unsweetened applesauce. They are good enough that you could easily sneak some healthy ingredients in there - like ground flax, wheat germ, etc. I added a cinnamon streusel topping, per another reviewer. A cream cheese frosting would also be good and would offset the sweetness. Overall, very good and worth making again!
