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

These are amazing! We added 1/2c dark chocolate chips instead of the semisweet and they were perfect. Might try using peanut butter chips next time!

EXCELLENT! If you're bored of regular old banana bread, TRY THIS. The texture is amazing, and while the chocolate flavor is strong, the banana still has a great presence in this recipe. I make this in a loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes (depending on your oven). SO GREAT.

This recipe makes a fantastic bread. I sprinkle regular chocolate chips on top of the batter. Just bake it for about an hour.

I used half brown sugar and half splenda. Because veg. oil does not add flavor I used melted butter. I also used the large choc. chips for more choc. flavor. They turned out excellent!

Made this with my 11 year old son. He loved being able to help and they were so yummy. Moist and sweet :) Best way to use up your ripe bananas that are sitting on your counter.

These muffins are easy to make and so moist. I have taken them to church for breakfast and they disappear immediately. They also freeze well.

I made this recipe for my husband when we went on vacation. We had to get extra nights in a motel that was booked. After they had these muffins, we got a room. They loved them as did my husband!

Easily the best way to use up ripe bananas. Do not hesitate to try this recipe.

My daughter regularly makes this in an 8"square pan. Recently, she's had much success making this gluten free by substituting all-purpose gluten free flour and 1 tsp xanthan gum. Because we were out of bananas and couldn't find very ripe ones, she substituted 12 oz of baby food bananas. She's now done this in both regular and gluten free varieties. Both were fabulous!
