Steps:
- Run pineapple and carrots through juicer according to manufacturer's instructions. Pour juice into a container and reserve pulp in a bowl. Run zucchini through juicer and add zucchini pulp to pineapple-carrot pulp. Discard zucchini juice.
- Measure 2 cups pineapple-carrot juice. If juice doesn't reach 2 cups, add enough water to make 2 cups. Bring pineapple-carrot juice and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Measure 1 cup cooked quinoa and set aside to cool.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 16 silicon muffin cup molds and place on a baking sheet or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Sift whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg together in a bowl.
- Mix applesauce, yogurt, sugar, eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Stir applesauce mixture, small amounts at a time, into flour mixture until batter is just combined. Fold the reserved 1 cup cooked quinoa, hempseed, raisins, and pineapple-carrot-zucchini pulp into batter; allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Spoon a heaping 1/3 cup batter into each muffin cup.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 23 to 27 minutes. Cool muffins in tin for 5 minutes before removing from muffin cups.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, cinnamon, all spice, ginger, cloves and salt in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, add the yogurt, maple syrup, carrots and plant milk, whisk until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients in with the wet, about 1/4 of the dry ingredients at a time. Use a spatula to fold this in until no dry flour remains.
- Add the walnuts and craisins and stir until they are equally distributed.
- Using a scoop or large spoon, scoop the batter into a greased muffin tin. This will make 6 large muffins or 10-12 small muffins.
- Top each muffin with a sprinkling of hemp seeds and oats before baking.
- Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean. These muffins will take a bit longer than your average muffin due to the high level of moisture in the batter!
- Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin and then serve.
HEALTHIER MORNING GLORY MUFFINS
This recipe is the hybrid morning glory muffin recipe that I have developed, after making many different recipes that either had a tonne of oil in them, or were much sweeter than I care for. These are very tasty and have less oil and sugar than some other recipes.

Steps:
- Preheat over to 400 degrees F.
- On a baking sheet, spread a layer of coconut and sunflower seeds. I placed coconut on one side and sunflower seeds on the other, but ended up mixing them together lated on. These will toast very quickly, so make sure they don't burn!
- Meanwhile, you can start grating the apples and the carrots. Place in a large mixing bowl, and add raisins to the mixture. When the coconut and sunflower seeds are toasted, put 3/4 of them in with the apples and carrots, and reserve 1/4 for a topping. In the same bowl, mix in the milk, eggs, vanilla, and oil.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Next, add the whole wheat flour, all of the spices, brown sugar, and cane or white sugar, mix thoroughly.
- Put in lined paper muffin cups, and bake in pre-heated oven for ~15-20 minutes. They are done when a toothpick comes out clean.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- To make the muffins even healthier, use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- If you don't have any Greek yogurt, you can use regular yogurt instead. Just be sure to drain it well before using it.
- You can also add other ingredients to the muffins, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips.
- Be sure to not overmix the batter, as this can result in tough muffins.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full, as the muffins will rise during baking.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
