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

This recipe is terrible. It taste like dough. I would not make this recipe again.

This was a good sounding recipe, but there was ultimately no coconut flavor. Even when I added double coconut and extract. I love the idea, but I'll keep looking. Thanks for sharing!
