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

Very yummy and look really cute! I halved the recipe. Instead of the chopped onions, I added a teaspoon of onion powder, they turned out great! Because of halving, I could not exactly use half an egg so I added 2 tablespoons more milk. I also omitted the oil and they turned out great! I accidentally used baking powder instead of baking soda, so they probably would've been fluffier if I had used baking soda. Overall, great flavor and very nice compliment to meat and potato meals.
