Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup pepitas, finely chopped
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup packed dark-brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup whole milk
1 large carrot, peeled and grated (2 cups)
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and grated (1 1/4 cups)
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup golden raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with baking cups. In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Reserve 1 tablespoon chopped pepitas; whisk the rest into flour mixture. In another bowl, whisk together oil, brown sugar, eggs, and milk until smooth. Stir in carrot, apple, coconut, and raisins. Make a well in flour mixture; pour in egg mixture and stir together until just combined (do not overmix). Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each all the way. Sprinkle tops with reserved pepitas.
  • Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center of muffins comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in tin, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini. Fresh zucchini is essential for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh zucchini, you can use frozen or thawed zucchini, but the muffins will not be as good.
  • Grate the zucchini finely. This will help the zucchini distribute evenly throughout the muffins and prevent them from becoming too watery.
  • Use a good quality muffin mix. A good quality muffin mix will help ensure that your muffins are light and fluffy. You can also use your favorite muffin recipe.
  • Add some spices. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger add a warm and cozy flavor to the muffins. You can also add a bit of salt to balance out the sweetness.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Morning glory muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They're perfect for busy mornings or for a quick snack. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your morning glory muffins are light, fluffy, and full of flavor.
