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

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!

Delicious! Halved the recipe since it's just me and my husband and added 2/3 c of oats for some extra grains. Definite keeper!

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!

I made a double batch for my family of these muffins as well as a single batch of another kind. These dissapeared so much faster and were requested again instantly.

These muffins are moist and easy to make. The only change I made was that I used apple pie spice instead of the individual spices listed.

This recipie is a huge hit in my house! It was super easy to make, and my kids have already devoured half the loot!I ran out of cupcake papers for the second batch, so made it into a bread instead. I had to cook it for about 20 minutes longer, but it turned out just as yummy!
