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

They have a subtle flavor but I find them to be delicious. Have made many times but do heat them for better flavor and texture.

wish I had done what the other poster did with the yogurt and zest. Made as the recipe calls for muffins had little lemon flavor by themselves. The drizzle helped. They came out VERY dense, but still tasted ok with a cup of coffee. I would not be in a hurry to make these again.

These are great. I like a little more lemon so I use lemon yogurt instead of sour cream and add zest of 1 lemon.
