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

My boys thought these had too many blackberries, but I thought they were just right. I added 1 T of lemon juice to the recipe and it was wonderful!

YUM! What a perfect muffin base. This should prove delicious no matter what kind of muffins I make ... blueberry, chocolate chip, and all the rest.

Muffins were very tasty warm. I cut the blackberries in half which seemed to help them settle better with the batter. I also cut back to 1 cup on the sugar and didn't sprinkle sugar on top.

These turned out great, very moist and nice berry flavor. I used just under a cup of sugar and they are plenty sweet. The only thing we didn't like are the seeds in the berries, which I know is unavoidable. Next time I'll add some nuts to help add some crunch and mask the seeds when you take a bite. Thanks for sharing a great recipe.

My husband loves this recipe. I will probably add a crumb topping next time instead of just the sugar.

These are so yummy and moist! I sprinkled with a cinnamon/sugar mix instead of plain sugar. The hint of cinnamon is delicious!
