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 really yummy! I used home grown blueberries! Will try whole wheat pastry flour next time.

These are tasty! Instead of the egg white I added 2T unsweetened applesauce.

We LOVE these muffins! They are so moist and have a great flavor. They are quickly becoming a staple in our house.

I like to use whole-wheat flour instead and use 1/4 tsp of lemon juice in place of the lemon peel.

I would definately make again. Very moist, great for kids lunches. If you are on WW they count as 4pts

These are yummy! The batter is very loose, like a cake batter, don't let that scare you - they bake up fine. I use 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of lemon extract in place of the lemon peel.
