Meet the Cook: Because these muffins are a bit heavier than many of the snack type, they are perfect for when you wake up hungry. They're quick and easy, too. I adapted them from a poppy seed quick bread I was served once at a neighbor's. My husband and I are the parents of three sons - 16, 15, and 12. -Kathy Smith, Granger, Indiana

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

At first I thought it was a bit too much oil, but since I left them out for a day and then reheated them I thought it was enough to keep them moist :)

I loved the recipe, I dont think I used as much sugar (headaches) but for my first time making home made muffins even my husband was impressed.

I know why they're so good...lots of sugar and oil!! Next time, I will use 1/2 c. oil and 1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce to cut back on all the fat. Otherwise, very good flavor--my kiddos loved them!

Very good, I never follow any recipe exactly, my kids say that a recipe is just a suggestion to Mom, I always substitute at least one cup wheat flour,and added instant lemon pudding and lemon flavor instead of almond flavor.
