Morning Glory Muffins are a delightful breakfast treat packed with wholesome ingredients like carrots, apples, nuts, and spices. Here’s a basic recipe to make these delicious muffins:
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work well)
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1/2 cup grated apple
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- 1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Stir in the shredded coconut, chopped nuts, grated carrots, grated apple, crushed pineapple, and raisins or dried cranberries until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Stir in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
