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'm sorry that some of you are having problems with the recipe. Because of your feedback, we've retested the recipe in our test kitchen. We had a hard time removing them from the pans as well but were able to remove them without problem from paper or foil liners. We did not, however, have a problem with the muffins sinking. Sometimes baked goods fall if they are underbaked - you might try baking them for just a couple minutes longer. - Peggy Woodward, RD, Food Editor

I made these delectable muffins this morning for the New Year! They were so moist and very chocolately; I've added them to my recipe box!

I sprayed the muffin tins with cooking spray, but could not get the muffins out intact. All I have are crumbles with a few tops. I really like the flavor though, so I'll turn these into a trifle and maybe grease the tins next time or try paper liners.

Made a batch for my co-workers and some for my husband. An all around hit. Definitely should make extra, they go fast!

Try adding extra flour. Depending on your altitude, could take between 1 or 2 extra TBLS flour. You'll also want to increase cooking time by 1-2 minutes. I hope this works for you!

Did yours sink in the middle as they were cooling?
I was so excited to see a muffin recipe with coffee as an ingredient; but my first batch turned out 'looking' horrible. They sunk in the middle as they cooled. Any thoughts???
