Big Batch Baked GoodsWe 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 were good -- my little children loved them -- but nothing special. A little too much pear for my liking. Also, just pealing and chopping the pear took at least half an hour by itself, if not more, so for that reason alone I won't make this recipe. Only for a stupendous recipe would I take the trouble!

Very moist with all the pears. A bit too sweet for my taste, but others didn't think so. I used sugar pears which are very sweet, so maybe that's partly to blame.I also added 1/2 tsp. ginger and 1/4 tsp. nutmeg to make them a spiced pear muffin.

Just allowed these to cool enough to sample one before dinner. The muffin is delicious (as was the batter). I would like to know if this particular recipe can be frozen.

Lovely, moist and flavorful! I used half the oil and reduced the sugar to 1 1/2 cups since my pears were very ripe and they're still wonderful. Will definitely make again

Delicious!! Love them but I will chop the pears up much finer next time. My family likes them very finely chopped.
