Muffins are one of my favorite things to bake, and these are the best. I always keep some in the freezer for breakfast on the run. I can zap one in the microwave before I head out the door. —Kelly Kirby Westville, Nova Scotia

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 rated them already but the stars would not come on screen so I had to do it a second time. Worth doing it twice.
Very moist and great tasting. I did not do the topping. I put chocolate chips on top. My kids loved them !!

I doubled the recipe and made 12 jumbo muffins. 3/4 cup batter in each muffin cup was perfect. I did not use the topping. They are delicious. Very moist for a muffin. They still only took 25 minutes to bake even though they were jumbo sized.

i replaced yogurt for applesauce since i didnt have any yogurt on hand and it was good the only problem was i baked them for 25 mins. and they were done way too much! they were a dark brown color.so next time i will cut down the time...

Due to my childrens preferences I did not make these with the topping. I also used vanilla yogurt and omitted the vanilla. They were very good and easy to make.

These were really good, next time I am going to leave off the sugar and cinnamon topping and just sprinkle some chocolate chips over top. The sugar and cinnamon was a bit much for me. I made jumbo muffins, and used sour cream in place of the yogurt because that is what I had. I also used three egg whites and skipped the yolk entirely. All in all were good and will make again.

My family loves these muffins! I now always skip the topping and sprinkle mini chips on top like another reviewer suggested. I've tried them both ways and while I like them with the original topping; my kids like them with just the mini chips on top. Thank you for this wonderful muffin recipe. I will always keep some on hand (they keep well in the freezer) to throw into school lunches.

Excellent recipe! I'd been looking for a chocolate chip muffin that has a light texture like the mixes, and this one is perfect. I skipped the topping and just sprinkled extra mini chips on top. They're a hit with my family!
