Morning Glory Muffins

This morning glory muffins recipe is so satisfying. It’s incredibly delicious and so hearty that having one with your morning tea or coffee will fill you until your next meal.

What makes these morning glory muffins unique and delicious are they have less sugar and oil than the typical recipe.

Every time I got one of these muffins outside of my home, I’d eat it and think, “These are too sweet and greasy.”

Have you noticed that?  I’m here to tell you that you do NOT have to use a lot of oil.

Of all the muffins I make, these are the heartiest and most filling ones and a great breakfast option.

How to make these hearty muffins

Pre-step

Get your muffin pan, muffin cups, mixing bowl, spatula and food processor.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin pan with 12 muffin cups.

Step one

Gather the dry ingredients – almond flour, spelt flour, cane sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and baking soda.

Step two

Add to the mixing bowl and mix them together. I use a pastry blender for that. I find it is perfect for the job.

Step three

Gather the wet ingredients – apple, carrots, eggs, oil, almond milk and vanilla.

I also gather raisins, chopped walnuts and shredded coconut.

Step four

Put the shredding attachment in the food processor out. Wash the carrots and apple and peel the skin off the apple.

Step five

Shred the carrots first and then add the apple to the processor. Set aside.

Step six

Add the eggs, olive oil, almond milk and vanilla to the dry ingredients.

Step seven

Take a spatula and mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until they are just incorporated.

Step eight

Add 1 ½ cups of shredded carrots along with whatever the one apple yields. It was about ¾ cup.

Step nine

Add raisins, shredded coconut and chopped walnuts and mix until just incorporated.

Step ten

Spoon the batter into the muffin cups. Since I love big muffins, I fill the cups right up!

Step eleven

Bake for 20 minutes.

Mmmmm.

Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pans before removing them to a wire rack to cool.

Time to plate a muffin.

Now to break one in half so I can eat it.

I hope you enjoyed this morning glory muffins recipe!
