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 really like the flavor of these, however, I think I might have over-baked them a little because they were dry. I did make a maple syrup and powdered sugar glaze that I liked! I will try again though and keep a better eye on them.

These make a delicious treat for honey fans! I substituted in one cup of white whole wheat flour (King Arthur brand) for added nutrition and added 1 teaspoon of grated orange zest to intensify the orange flavor. Yummy!

I substituted lemon juice and sprinkled poppy seeds on top. Wonderful recipe.

Not quite orange-y enough, even though I also added some orange zest.
