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

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

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.

I used 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and 1 cup regular flour. I also made half without choc chips (for my hubby) and they were delicious! I also froze some and am looking forward to making this recipe again!

I've made these once before, and I'm making them again today. Excellent! I double the cinnamon, because I'm a huge cinnamon fan. :-)

I made a few minor adjustments. Instead of 1 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, I used 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of whole wheat. Instead of 3/4 cup of sugar, I used 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of white sugar. Instead of 1/2 cup of oil, I used 1/4 cup of canola oil and 1/4 of apple sauce. They turned out great with a healthier touch.

I made these for my husband to take to coffee with his friends and they all loved them. I was told that they gave the muffins an A+. The only change I made was to use white chocolate chips instead of the semi-sweet chips.

for people that are lactose intolerant use ENJOY LIFE semi-sweet choc chips wherever the recipe calls for choc chips

This is a great way to use extra zucchini! All 5 of my kids LOVED these muffins. I never buy semi-sweet, so we used milk chocolate chips. YUM!
