I have seen so many recipes for Morning Glory Muffins over the years and I have always wanted to try to make them. I liked the idea of these muffins being packed with so many good for you ingredients like carrot, apple, and raisins. I’m so glad that I finally did because we really liked these muffins! I don’t know if the kids realized that they were getting fruit and veggies in their muffin. I would definitely make these again. The recipe came from my Taste of Home 30-Minute Cookbook.
The ingredients are:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/4 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 medium tart apple, peeled and shredded
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir in carrots, raisins, coconut and pecans.
- Combine eggs, oil, apple and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
- Spoon into greased or paper-lined muffin cups. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until muffins test done.
Yield: about 1-1/2 dozen
