Meet the Cook: While these are delicious year-round, you could easily turn them into an edible Christmas gift. They look festive on a decorative tray wrapped in red or green cellophane or tucked into a giveaway cookie plate. And don't forget to include the recipe so your recipient can enjoy this treat over and over again! I'm planning to share my muffins with the ladies in my church group and also with the Alabama Farmer's Federation, of which I'm a member. -Pat Schrand, Enterprise, Alabama

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

We love these! I spray the muffin tin with no stick spray but then use sugar instead of flour. They are absolutely delicious!

My family LOVES these little muffins!! I also take them to potlucks, and use them as Christmas treats. They always bring tons of compliments, and requests for the recipe.

These were very good and i used walnuts instead of pecans and greased the muffin tins very good.
