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

These muffins are really good. Another recipe I have uses too much oil and so the end product is oily and I didn't like that. These are perfect and I like the walnuts in them too. I even added a couple teaspoons of flax seeds. I'm definitely making these again. The topping is tasty too, I like the crunchiness of the brown sugar and walnuts.

These are delicious! I love that they are low sugar. I add a bit of cinnamon in the batter as well and reduce the sugar for the topping to 1/8 cup. Also use whole wheat flour for an extra burst of healthyness.
