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

Delicious, but I did change a few things. I wanted to make lower in fat so I used 3 tbsp. of egg whites, 1/4 c. of lite sour cream, one small single serve cup of applesauce for the butter, I did not have flaked coconut so I used 1/2 c. of shredded zucchini, 2 tbsp. of mini choc. chips and just a few almonds (3-4 for crunch) on top of each muffin and 1/2 tsp. of coconut extract to get that coconut flavor. They turned out very moist and what a great taste. I got 9 regular sized muffins instead of 6 and I got the fat grams down to 2g per muffin.

A bit dry and doughy, not light like the photo. Not very sweet at all. Would try again to see if it comes out better.

I made these this morning. The dough is a bit pasty, but overall they are good. Next time, I think I will omit the chocolate chips, and maybe add blueberries, instead. Or just leave them as is without the chocolate. My boyfriend and I also agreed that it would taste good with lemon.

very sweet, tastes more like a mini-cake than a muffin.

I have made these 3 times in the past few weeks - always double the recipe! An excellent cake-like muffin for a special treat!!

This are our favorite muffins. I make a variety of different kinds for breakfasts and freeze them, but I never let these run out in the freezer.
