Morning Glory Muffins

by Jamie

Have you ever heard of Morning Glory Muffins? I came across  several recipes for these yummy muffins recently and knew I had to give them a try. They are surprisingly low in fat, but stay super moist…most likely because of all the healthy add ins like shredded carrots, apples and raisins that add moisture to the batter. This particular recipe also has orange juice and orange zest giving them a fantastic bright flavor as well. You can make them with white flour, or whole wheat flour…they turn out great with either.

Make a batch this week, my friends. The leftovers freeze super well, and make a great grab and go type breakfast or snack.

Thanks for the recipe! It was a fun experiment.

I followed the recipe exactly and it took 30 minutes to prep. I baked at 425 and they were done in 13 minutes. One pan had edges that were starting to blacken; the other pan was fine. (I used different brands and ages of non-stick muffin pans.)

Mine were much darker than the photo, perhaps because my flax seed was a very deep brown? I used one cup all-purpose flour and one cup white whole wheat flour.

Also, it made 24 small-to-average-sized muffins, not at all as tall as the ones in the photo.

Overall, they were a nice, filling muffin. Next time I could probably use a basic, simple muffin recipe, adding in the final four ingredients, and get a similar taste.
