"This is one of my favorite muffin recipes because it goes with anything," says Marian Smith of Sandy, Utah. The sweet treats have a crusty top and tender cake-like interior, so they're good for breakfast or as a snack.

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

Tried this recipe today and was very disappointed. It was probably my changes to the recipe in an effort to cut the calories. Instead of the shortening I used 1/4 c. unsweetened applesauce and 1/4c. butter; 1/4 c. brown sugar and 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract. It had no flavor and was tough. I used paper cupcake holders and they wouldn't come off the muffin. I may give the recipe one more try using the original ingredients listed and hope for a better ending.

I've had a recipe similar to this one for 40 years. However THIS recipe with only a few different tweeks is MUCH better! I've made it twice and my bunch just loves them! So glad I decided to judge a new recipe next to my old standby. The family verdict went with the new version! Yum!!

I tried these because I had more brown sugar than granulated. Glad I did! They're wonderfully wonderful. I'm going to share, thanks!
