We have been baking. ALOT. Mostly muffins. They are easy? How easy? Easy enough that you shouldn't bother buying the baking mix. It takes exactly 5 minutes to mix up the batter. I use the recipe on What's For Lunch At Our House's website :
http://bentolunch.blogspot.com/2010/04/muffin-recipe-from-yesterday.html I have been following the blog for about a year and started making the Corn Dog Muffins first. Corn Dog Muffins? Chop three hot dogs, throw them and a handful of shredded cheese into a bowl of Jif Corn Muffin Mix. Bake. Done. Yum (if you like corn dogs, which I do!) Anyway, we have made homemade blueberry muffins and we also made a batch of zucchini and carrot muffins. You can also halve the batter once you have mixed it, and make half a batch of one type and half of another. So easy and as I have learned from Shannon's blog, they freeze easily. You can put anything in these muffins....chocolate chips, berries of any kind, etc. and have a great result everytime.
You can also find the recipe for the zucchini bars we made the other day here :

However, I would leave the cinnamon OUT of the frosting. Or just forego the frosting all together. The bars are great and moist on their own, and I thought the frosting gave it kind of a cinnamon roll like flavor, which wasn't what I was going for.
Here are my helpers making the bars. Rose is sifting. I have learned that SIFTING IS IMPORTANT and if a recipe calls for SIFTED FLOUR, it means to sift it BEFORE you measure it!
Happy muffin making!
