These are my favorite muffins to serve with a cup of coffee or a tall glass of cold milk. Not only are they great for breakfast, they make a tasty dessert or midnight snack. I get lots of recipe requests whenever I serve them. The espresso spread is also super on a bagel. -Janice Schulz, Racine, Wisconsin

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

Most amazing muffins ever! I gave them to a friend and he comsumed three jumbo size in one sitting! That's how good they are! And the cream cheese spread is delectable! Tasty treat for any occasion!

I have made these SEVERAL times and LOOOVE them. Sometimes I make the espresso spread but most of the time I do not because they are good on their own and it saves calories. I also make mine mini size and cut the baking time to about 6-7 minutes. Try em, you'll like em!!

These are delicious! My daughter is gluten free so when she comes up to visit, I make these with 1 cup of rice flour, 2/3 cup of Bob's All purpose flour, 1/3 cup of cornstarch, and 2 tsp. of xanthan gum instead of the flour. You can barely tell that they're gluten free and sometimes they even taste better than the normal recipe!

These are delicious! I did replace the melted butter with 1/4 cup oil and 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce. I only used 1/2 cup mini chips in the batter. For the spread I used Neufchatel cream cheese. My goal was to make them a tad more diet friendly! :) My friends at work loved them!

Delicious! Quick! Simple! Had no cream cheese to make the spread, but great on their own. I like MuffinMazing's idea of putting the spread in or on the muffin before baking, too!! My co-workers will love them!!

These were delicious. I only made 12 muffins, because I filled them almost to the top. I didn't make the spread. My son took a couple to work, and texted me to tell me they were an excellent breakfast. I guess I'll be making them again!
