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

I add a few chocolate chips to please my young daughter's sweet tooth. They also freeze well.

In addition to the lowfat quality, I also made these muffins with reduced sugar. I used 1/3 c Splenda brown sugar and 1/3 cup nonfat dry milk instead of the sugar and added an extra 1/2 t of baking soda. I made them extra appealing to my family by adding chopped walnuts to the batter, not chocolate chips. We ate them virtually guilt free!!

We love these muffins! I increase the cocoa to 1/3 c. and add 1/4 c. mini chocolate chips. They make a very satisfying low-fat chocolate dessert alternative! Thanks for a keeper!!

My whole family loves these muffins. It is hard to believe that they are low-fat. I partially fill the muffin cups & then add a few chocolate chips and then I add the rest of the batter for a chocolatey surprise.

My husband loves these! He had no idea they were healthy muffins ;) - I use Hershey's dark chocolate cocoa for a healthier muffin. I also use brown sugar instead of normal sugar. I also use whole wheat rather than all-purpose flour. I also add dark chocolate chips (about 1/4 cup) to add moisture to the muffins.

These are delicious. Very light and moist, but still rich and chocolatey. I added 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Yum!
