I got this recipe from a good friend. The muffins can be eaten anytime, of course, but they are especially popular for coffee breaks and brunches. One thing you can count on...they're really nice and moist!

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

While I would indeed make this recipe again I found I had to modify it. There was simply not enough flour to go with all the fruit! I used both whole wheat & white flour but used a total of 3 cups. This also required adding more liquid so I added about a cup of low fat yoghurt and a splash of milk. The ladies in church loved them with these adjustments. Thanks for the recipe!
