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

These are awful! I was expecting the flavor and texture of a cake doughnut with the ease of a muffin. Boy was I disappointed. Yes, they are easy, but a huge disappointment to break open a warm, dry nutmeg flavored muffin.

These remind me of my mom's drop donuts that she would sometimes make on Saturdays. We always loved them and my kids love these.
