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

Used canned peaches, added 1 tsp. cinnamon and an eighth tsp. nutmeg. Delicious!! My husband and I could have kept eating, but I plan to freeze them to try to resist gaining weight. We may not be able to leave them there. I'm already planning whom I can share them with.

Delicious! I cut the sugar to 1/4 cup and added 1/4 cup honey and 1/8 cup Stevia. I used peaches canned in 100% fruit juice because that is what I had. They turned out wonderfully! Will make these over and over!

We picked peaches yesterday and since we are leaving on vacation I wanted to use them up. Peach muffins seemed like a good way to do that. This recipe was easy to make and they came out delicious even though I was afraid I left them in the oven too long. We didn't have any sour cream but we did have Crema Guatemalteca which is a cultured cream. I also omitted the pecans and added a dash of cinammon and 1/4 grated white chocolate. They turned out fabulous!

Good texture and density (pretty dense). More of a cupcake then a muffin. Omitted nuts. Next time I will try out the suggestion of a cinnamon and sugar topping.

I am on my second batch of these, as the first was gone in 2 days (and for a family of 2, that's pretty good). I altered the recipe slightly, using 1 c all purpose flour and 1/2 c whole wheat flour, adding 1 tsp of almond extract, 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of nutmeg. I also was very generous with the sour cream (more like 2/3 of a cup than 1/2 to keep the whole wheat flour from making these too dry). Very Good!

Very good recipe. I will add cinnamon to the ingredients and/or sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before putting them in the oven. I think that will make them taste even better.

I made these for a Church bake sale and they were very well received and tasted good; but I have no idea what happened -- they just fell apart into pieces! Will definitely make again to see what I did wrong the first time! Increased peaches by 1/2 cup and omitted the nuts.

I loved this recipe! I added a twist of my own with slivered almonds and a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar; Delightful!

Very yummy. I added a brown sugar, pecan, and cinnamon topping. This recipe is certainly a keeper.
