Maple combines with a subtle touch of cinnamon and nuts to give these muffins the flavor of a hearty pancake breakfast. But you don't have to sit down to enjoy them. Our 2-year-old comes back for seconds, and even my husband, who's not a muffin eater, likes these. —Elizabeth Talbot, Lexington, Kentucky

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 have made these several times and they really do taste like a pnacake breakfast. Perfect for traveling or at the beach when sitting down to a stack of pancakes is not possible.

Made these this morning and brought them to work. The responses were "excellent" "wonderful" and "more - more - more". Thanks for the recipe. It made me look good. I would recommend this highly.

Thank you - this sounds good. I have maple syrup from a neighbor who taps his own trees, and am always looking for something I can take to my shop. The guys love this kind of stuff, again thank you.
