Morning Glory Muffins

Recipe Description

These Morning Glory Muffins really are delicious and healthy too. In the recipe, I suggest using a mix of whole wheat flour with buckwheat or spelt flour. You can use all whole wheat if you don’t have spelt or buckwheat flour. A combination of carrots, apple, coconut, nuts, and sunflower seeds help to keep these muffins moist but add a pleasant crunch too.

To make these muffins, start by combining dry ingredients together before mixing in carrots, apple, coconut, nuts, and sunflower seeds. In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients and pour them into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix them together and divide the batter between 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle the top with granola and bake in the oven. Enjoy!

To make Morning Glory Muffins you will need the following ingredients:

Sencillamente deliciosos! Hice estos muffins para el desayuno familiar y todos disfrutaron. La mezcla de manzana y zanahoria hace que sean muy húmedos. Definitivamente los haré otra vez.

These are really good with some coffee though so are the apple churros, but it's not as healthy.

I already made some of the other muffin recipes here like the Irish soda bread muffins and the pumpkin cream ones, this one seems good as well so I'll try them out!

Well, I can see why they're called ''morning glory'' muffins. A fitting name indeed.
