Morning Glory Muffins

Morning Glory Muffins

With shredded carrots, apple, cinnamon, orange zest, walnuts & raisins – these Morning Glory Muffins are packed with flavor and so easy to make.

I think all muffins fall into one of two categories: those that are basically mini cakes, and those that are more substantial and not just an excuse to eat dessert for breakfast. Now – I’ve made my fair share of the former. But if truth be told my favorite kind of muffin actually falls into the latter less sweet, non-dessert category.

The ingredient list for these muffins is pretty substantial – but that’s par for the course with morning glories. Shredded carrots, apple, fresh orange juice and orange zest are the base for our flavor and sweeten the muffins naturally. Then cinnamon & ginger for spice. And raisins & walnuts add texture. Every bite is packed with flavor without being overwhelming. Then to keep the muffins moist we’re using oil and 3 eggs. The carrot and spices completely mask any taste of oil and there’s no weird greasiness because we’re keeping the oil to a minimum so they’re soft without having those shiny tops like you see in store bought muffins. I am in love with the spices, shredded carrots, raisins, apple & walnuts. And the combo of flavors and moist texture was muffin perfection. They’re seriously delicious, packed with flavor – and if you love carrot cake, apple cinnamon muffins, easy recipes, or anything tasty – these Morning Glory Muffins are for you!
