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

I made these and there are black squiggly hair like things in them... Anyone now why?

Pretty good, but didn't wow me. I did a few changes. I used 4 bananas, a heaping 1/2 cup of oats, regular sized chocolate chips, and made it a loaf instead of muffins. I baked it for 45 mins and it needed more, so it cooked for about 15 mins longer. I think I should've cooked it for 10 mins longer instead of 15. Definitely a hearty bread with the oats in it. I'll prolly make again though.

The oats in this recipe give it more texture than typical muffins. Love the crunch of the top with the moist chocolately inside!

These are delicious! I made them without the chocolate chips and they are perfect! Great snack or breakfast treat. Or even for any occasion!

This recipe was quick to put together and it tastes delicious!! I was worried the oatmeal would make the muffin grainy, but I wouldn't have noticed the oatmeal if I hadn't seen the recipe. Delicious! Thanks for sharing! :)

These are moist and delicious! The recipe made 10 jumbo muffins for me (baked about 25 minutes). I didn't have any chocolate chips, so I crumbled two Peanut Butter Moon Pies in their packaging, then dumped them in - so the muffins had chocolate and a little bit of peanut butter flavoring! Yum - thanks for the recipe :) My favorite breakfast is one jumbo muffin, one link sausage, and one hot cup of coffee!

these muffins are so easy and they taste great! They have the perfect moist but crumbly texture. This is a new favorite with the family (and there are 8 of us)!
