I can remember my Grandma Wheeler making these delicious muffins—we'd eat them nice and warm, fresh from the oven! She was a "pinch of this" and "handful of that" kind of cook, so getting the ingredient amounts correct for the recipe was a challenge. Now it's a family treasure! —Darlis A.

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

I made these with one addition, matcha (green tea powder). I added 1 Tbsp of matcha to the dry ingredients to make these green tea & honey muffins.I had to stop myself from eating the whole batch when they came out if the oven.

I've been calling these fluffy slightly sweetened delights honey-cakes because they remind me more of a little cake than a muffin. Whatever you call choose to call them though, these are yummy and addictive!

My son and I made these together and they are absolutely delicious. One of the simplest recipes for muffins that I have ever used. We are using them as dessert . We will be making these again.

So good! These muffins are so simple yet so great!! They are the perfect accompaniment to any meal and are so moist and not overly sweet. You do not even need extra butter! I will definitely be making these again- so yummy!!

An excellent, old fashioned, slightly sweet muffin with a delicate texture. These make a perfect accompaniment to a traditional style Sunday dinner with a roast.

I'm 8 months pregnant & NEEDED something sweet the other night. I'd been eyeing these muffins for a while in the ToH 2009 Holiday magazine for a while. They were quick & easy, which was a huge plus at a bit past midnight, and they came out AMAZING. My hubby tried to be strong & not eat anything so late, but caved after seeing my reaction. After one bite, we both fell in love. These are definitely a household favorite & will be made again many times. :D
