Whenever I make these muffins, I freeze several. As I'm leaving for work in the morning, I pull one out and enjoy it at the office with a cup of coffee. -Janet Pierce DeCori, Rockton, Illinois

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 are absolutely excellent muffins. I added half milk chocolate & half white chocolate chips. I used half wheat & half white flour. I also doubled the recipe. I made extra to freeze so I can take one out in the morning to have with coffee. Definitely make these as they will be a hit!

These were really good. I made them exactly as the recipe said. They are light (non-dense) for a muffin. Yum!

These are fabulous! I used 1 1/2 cups zucchini and regular semi sweet chips. I omitted the walnuts so my kids would eat them. They are so moist and satisfying. Thanks for a great recipe!

I modified to our suit my families taste buds. I used 1/4 cup white chocolate chips and 1/2 mashed bananas. The banana made these little fellers extra moist and delish. Its a must try!!

I just reviewed these but forgot to click on the stars, with 1 1/2 c. zucchini and extra chocolate chips, these are great!

The first time I made these, I made them like the recipe but added extra chocolate chips and we really liked them. The second time, I accidentally used 1/2 cups of shredded zucchini and they were even moister. My daughter and son-in-law were here and wanted to take the leftovers home! So more zucchini and chocolate chips make them a treat.
