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

Delicious!!! You can cut the calories & fat significantly (more than half) if you use sugar & egg substitutes and don't use nuts or raisins.

Nice basic muffin. You really do need to double the batch, maybe even more - the doubled batch only made 6 jumbo muffins for me.

I doubled the recipe and added a little bit more oil because the batter seemed a little think. I also double the cinnamon because I love that flavor. I also ommited the raisins and nuts because my son is allergic. My four-year-old loved them with a little butter. Even better warmed up! I will be making these again and possible adding some chocolate chips.

These muffins are moist and delicious! I used strawberry applesauce in place of the oil, and craisins in place of the currants.

I can't really rate this because I changed the recipe by using mashed banana instead of oil and leaving out the walnuts and using sultanas instead of currants. I doubled the recipe and used two eggs which turned out to be way too much egg. It had a horrible rubbery texture and tasted like scrambled eggs with zucchini. Yuck.

Agood muffin, but something seemed to be missing, it was a little on the bland side. Maybe adding more cinnamon or some nutmeg would help.

I doubled the cinnamon, substituted applesauce for the oil and used craisins. Turned out great!

Spray the paper muffin cups with cooking spray and the muffins will not stick to the paper liner.

These muffins were awesome! I substituted applesauce for the canola oil and cranraisins for currants. I tried both cooking spray and paper liners and would recommend the cooking spray....batter stuck to the papers and lost alot of the muffin itself. But the recipe is much better so it's a keeper!
