"I bake something almost everyday—either in the morning before everyone's awake or in the evening," comments Stephanie Kienzle from North Miami Beach, Florida. "I whip up these tender muffins in no time and serve them with jam for breakfast or ice cream and chocolate syrup for dessert."

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

This recipe turned out real good. It is another excellent way to use up those dark bananas. I used mini chocolate chips in the recipe and they worked out nice.

I just tried these for the first time. They didn't rise like I thought they would, but they are still very good. I'm not a fan of nuts in things but I really like them in this recipe. I will definitely make them again!

These were really good. My whole family enjoyed eating these, and I thought they were even better the next day. I followed the recipe, except for subbing white chocolate chips for the chocolate chips.

These muffins were easy to prepare and the end product was excellent! I made 24 regular size muffins that were moist and had just the right amount of chocolate flavor for my daughter to give it the "thumbs up" vote. I did omit the nuts because my kids do not like them. Great recipe that I will definitely make again and share with all my friends.

These were delicious and moist. My teenage son gobbled them up. I made 12 mini-muffins and 18 regular-sized muffins from the recipe.

These were okay, the dough definitely didn't make 24, it made 6 jumbo muffins. I also didn't add the walnuts or any nuts for that matter. The muffins did not rise well at all, and the top burnt before the center was completely baked.
