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

WE LOVE THESE MUFFINS. I HAVE MADE THEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS. EVER SINCE I FOUND THE RECIPE. I EVEN CAN THE YELLOW SQUASH SO I CAN MAKE THEM IN THE WINTER. IT TAKES A QUART OF SQUASH TO MAKE THEM. JUST DRAIN THEM AND FINISH THE RECIPE. ALSO I THOUGHT 1/2 CUP OF OIL WAS A LOT SO I TRIED USING JUST 1/3 CUP AND THEY WERE JUST AS GOOD. I AM GOING TO TRY 1/4 CUP NEXT TIME TO SEE HOW THAT GOES. CAN'T BEAT THIS RECIPE.

Tasted like Corn Bread, but it is made with squash. The muffins were really moist and kept very well.

I have a child who won't eat veggies without a battle. She went back for seconds & thirds on these. Everyone else loved them too. We've made them many times in the last two years!!
