Morning Glory Muffins

These Morning Glory Muffins are packed with vegetables, fruit, and nuts, creating a delicious breakfast treat or snack.

Kick them up a notch by passing softened butter or cream cheese at the breakfast table. We guarantee that, after one bite, your morning will be full of glory!

Optional: If you wish, use half all-purpose flour and half whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour is processed less than all-purpose flour to retain more nutrients and fiber, however, it may have a courser texture.

Optional: If you wish, substitute white sugar for brown sugar. Brown sugar isn’t any healthier but it has more of a rich, molasses taste some people prefer.

Remember: This recipe makes at least 36 muffins! If you have extra, just freeze for another day or another event!

Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour
2-1/2 cups sugar
4 teaspoons baking soda
4 teaspoons cinnamon
pinch of salt
4 cups grated carrots
1 cup raisins
1 cup shredded coconut
2 apples, peeled and grated
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
6 eggs
2 cups vegetable oil
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease muffin tins or line with paper cups.
In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in carrots, raisins, coconut, apples, and nuts (if using). 
In a separate bowl, beat eggs with oil and vanilla. Add to flour mixture and stir to combine. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins and bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

I really like the sound of these muffins but do not want 2 1/2 cups of sugar. Is there a substitute, maybe molasses, maple syrup?

Recently diagnosed diabetic, I have been experimenting with using Stevia in the Raw instead of sugar! There is also a brown sugar substitute in that isle. Good luck!

Really sounds great , Do you have nutritional information for these, or perhaps I missed it.

I too would like to know if you could substitute out the wheat flour with another flour, say almond?

We would not recommend substituting with other flours.

Could this recipe be made in a loaf tin (or 3) or a couple of 8 x 8's rather than in muffin tins?

Two large? Two small? Weight approximation?

Can you substitute any other flour other than wheat?
