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

My mother has been making these for years, but she uses banana and vanilla pudding. Also omits the pecans. These are addictive.

I have been making these muffins since I first read the recipe in TOH years ago. My grown daughter just asked me to make them, so I am going to include mini-muffins in my Christmas cookie trays.

My kids and husband loved these muffins. I thought they were just good. We don't care for butterscotch much, but the flavor of these were good. I didn't have any pecans so I skipped that on the topping. These freeze great also. My kids want them in their lunchboxes so I freeze them, then by lunch time they are thawed. They love 'em! Thanks for the recipe.

These are my family's all-time favorite!!! We have them about three times a month. I have used butterscotch, lemon, and chocolate pudding in them and they've turned out perfect every time. I want to experiment with more flavors soon. I give these a big 5!!!!
