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 doubled the recipe for my family and even the one kid who claims not to like bananas enjoyed it!

Great for kids as very low in sugar. I made into mini- muffins and my daughter loved them.

Made enough for 9 muffins for me and I subbed applesauce for the butter. Makes them 3.1 g of fat per muffin. Yum!

Fast, easy and delicious! I always double the recipe and since it is fall now, I like to add two small peeled and diced apples. Makes 12 muffins plus a small loaf!

Excellent muffin recipe! Added 1/4 cup of chocolate chips to batter and then sprinkled the top with some extra nuts before baking. I also filled my muffin cups fuller than the recipe said since I like larger muffins. Turned out terrific! Excellent flavor and so moist!

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.
