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

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

I have made these several times and everyone loves them. Sometimes I put a thin powdered sugar glaze on them.

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!

I'll make this soon!

Thanks for the recipe!
