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.
