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

This is now a weekly staple in my kids school lunches. One week I didn't have time and grabbed a pack of store bought chocolate chip muffins and they wouldn't eat them! For sure a kid fav! Super moist and fluffy, I cut the sugar down a bit but even if you don't it's not too sweet at all!!!

These are great for Christmas . I made many batches and froze them for gifts and I used colored chips, to make them look festive.

Excellent, moist and tender. Not so sickly sweet like some choc chip muffins, and the tops went slightly crisp, that's not the right word but not soggy! YUM. Next time I'll try them with mini chocolate chips.

Update: The gluten-free muffins turned out great! I was worried because of how extremely gooey the batter got, but the muffins baked up beautifully. I brought some into work with me and shared them with my co-workers. A few of them knew they were gluten-free and wouldn't try them. The few that didn't know, I just offered the muffins to, and they LOVED them! They kept coming back to my desk asking for seconds until they were gone. I also use mini chocolate chips in my muffins. I prefer the chocolate per bite ratio the mini chips allow it's users. I should make another batch to share with the boss. Maybe I'll get a raise...wishful thinking.

I recently made this recipe with regular all-purpose flour and it was delicious! Unfortunately, I recently had to discontinue using ingredients that contain gluten. I'm making these again today after 2 months and using gluten-free all-purpose flour and xanthan gum. I noticed the texture of the batter was much more gummy, but I hope that the consistency of the muffins is very similar to the previous batch as well as the flavor and moistness. I can verify that this recipe is a no-fail recipe when using the ingredients it calls for. So tasty!

I made this recipe using mini chocolate chips. My husband and I loved them. He is already asking when I'll make them again.

The batter seemed very dry and I was tempted to add some liquid, but I didn't and I was glad. These are very moist and very tasty.

Simple, quick and on-hand ingredients....always a winner. My kids LOVE these with all KINDS of flavored chips. I've made them using butterscotch chips, PB chips, even the cinnamon ones. These get eaten quickly!
