Begin any day with the amazing scent and flavor of bakeshop muffins in your own kitchen. Dried fruit adds extra moisture and a natural sweetness to no-fuss box mixes. Serve them fresh, or freeze them up to one month and reheat for a tasty grab-and-go snack. To make the most of breakfast on the run, simply remove the foil liner from a frozen muffin, wrap it in a paper towel, and microwave for 15 seconds or until thoroughly heated.

"Muffin Makeover" is from the January 2008 issue of Southern Living.
