These are the best muffins I've ever eaten! Once I took them to a brunch. Three other women had brought muffins, too, but mine disappeared first, and everyone wanted the recipe! Even my husband, who doesn't normally like muffins, just can't seem to get enough of these!

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

This is a very hearty, filling muffin. Instead of just the all purpose flour, I used a four blend of all purpose, whole wheat and flax. Everything else was the same. These would make a great breakfast treat, as the name suggests. I will make these again.

This muffin recipe is fantastic. Even the day old ones are great. But next time I make it I think I might try using brown sugar to give it a richer flavor.

Yes, I would, with a few tweaks

These muffins lived up to their recommendation. My 7 year old grandson loved them and did his Nana!
