Meet the Cook: I started cooking and baking at a young age - just like my sisters and brothers. Our mother was a very good teacher, and she told us all we would learn our way around the kitchen. Now, I've let our children know the same thing! -Cindy Middleton, Champion, Alberta

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

This recipe turned out very well! I made a few small adjustments to suit my desires, but they turned out delicious! I used 2 cups whole wheat flour and 1 cup of all-purpose flour. I also did for the oil 1/2 cup of coconut oil, 1/2 cup of applesauce, and 1/2 cup of canola oil. Lastly, I added two tablespoons of ground flaxseed meal. :)

These were really good. Mine got a little dark on the bottom so next time I'm going to try lowering the temperature to 375 and watch them closely.

These were great. I also cut way back on the oil, substituting applesauce for the majority of the 1.5 cups. I also cut back the sugar and chocolate chips quite a bit, and they still came out very tasty.

Very good, not overly sweet. I also used applesauce in place of oil, thanks to others for the tip, it turned out very moist. I also omitted the choc. chips.

These taste yummy, but are very dark in color. My kids like the chocolate chips. I also used applesauce.

These muffins were great. To cut down on fat, I used 3/4 cup of canola oil and 3/4 cup of applesauce. They turned out moist and everyone loved them. For a special touch I sprinkled oats, sugar in the raw and cinnamom on top. Yummy!

Muffins were excellent. I substituted dark chocolate chips for some added health benefits. The only drawback is the high calorie content, but could experiment with the recipe some to change that. All in all will make again!

These muffins were unbelievably and surprisingly delicious! My family loved them, and I will continue to make these muffins for years to come. Thanks so much!

This is not overly sweet, and you cannot really taste the pumpkin, but I think it is a nice treat and perfect for breakfast. I used dark chocolate chips and a mixture of splenda and organic agave liquid sugar. It is great!

I increased the cinnamon & added 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg; also used butterscotch chips (was out of chocolate chips) -- it was very good! Doctors/Nurses loved it!

These muffins are moist and delicious and the recipe is very easy to prepare. My daughter brought a batch of these back to college and her suite mates gobbled them up and asked for more!

My kids and co-workers loved them! Next time I will try to make substitutions to make a little healthier...you can't eat just one!

Delicious!!

These are soo good. I made a few substitutions to try and make them a little healthier. I use egg beaters in place of eggs. I also do 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour and 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour. I use pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon. Lastly I replace the oil with all natural apple sauce. I baked these today and instead of making muffins, I made a bundt cake and a loaf of bread. My family loves this "treat." Little do they know, it's good for them.
