These moist, delectable, and easy-to-make morning glory muffins are loaded with carrots, raisins, walnuts, and coconut—almost like mini carrot cakes. They are always a hit with family and friends. I love to make a double batch and freeze half for on-the-go breakfasts. Muffins are always a great addition to hearty weekend breakfasts, busy but fun holiday brunches, or even after-school snacks. If you like these muffins, try cranberry orange muffins, oatmeal muffins, and blueberry muffins.

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 cup peeled and shredded apple
1/2 cup raisins

How To Make morning glory muffins

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, stir together the eggs, oil, vanilla extract, brown sugar, carrots, and apple. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients stirring just until barely incorporated.
Step 3

Fold in the raisins, walnuts, and coconut. Avoid any over-stirring or overmixing so the dough does not get tough.
Step 4

Line the muffin pan with muffin liners. Spoon the batter into the muffin liners filling them all the way up. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake an additional 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
