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 taste as good as the name brand, but much better because they're homemade.. :)

I doubled this recipe to make 6 very large muffins. I used 1 cup of whole wheat flour and 1 cup of plain flour. I also used pecans instead of walnuts. I also broke additional pecans to put on top of the muffins while they baked. After they cooled slightly, I made icing and drizzled it on the muffins. My family loved it! So yes I would use this recipe again! : )

A great recipe to use up bananas that are too ripe to eat. I used pecans instead of walnuts. A great breakfast with a cup of coffee.
