These are my favorite muffins to serve with a cup of coffee or a tall glass of cold milk. Not only are they great for breakfast, they make a tasty dessert or midnight snack. I get lots of recipe requests whenever I serve them. The espresso spread is also super on a bagel. —Janice Schulz, Racine, Wisconsin

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 have been making these for years and they are absolutely wonderful! I don't always make the cream cheese topping. They are great without it, but I sometimes serve these with cinnamon butter.

What a nice recipe! Very tasty and the cream cheese topping is delicous. I made the recipe as written, except I didn't have mini-chocolate chips, so I rough chopped milk chocolate chips.

Very good.Only extra I did was to add some chopped walnuts. We love nuts in our muffins.

I love these muffins! I used the idea of lowering the fat mentioned in the posts, and it still tasted wonderful!!!! I love the spread - even my siblings who don't like coffee love these muffins!

These muffins are amazing! A great combination of coffee flavor combined with sweetness and chocolate. What could be better? I made them for an early morning meeting at work and they were a huge hit.
