1 cup vegetable oil, plus extra for the pan (see Cook's Note)
3 extra-large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups grated carrots, unpeeled and grated on a box grater
1 Granny Smith apple, unpeeled and grated on a box grater
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Scoop the batter with a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice cream scoop (I use rounded scoops of batter) into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

MOIST MORNING GLORY MUFFINS

Not only did Rhonda Urich want "Light & Tasty" to cut the fat from her Morning Glory Muffins, but she hoped the staff could make them more nutritious. "I'd like to see flaxseed or whole wheat flour added, making them a healthy snack," explains the Loveland, Colorado reader. We did just that. See how in the pages of the Dec/Jan 2006 issue of "Light & Tasty."

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Ripened bananas provide a natural sweetness to the muffins, reducing the need for added sugar.
  • Measure ingredients accurately: Precise measurements ensure consistent results and prevent dry or dense muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing develops gluten, which can lead to tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill muffin cups properly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full to prevent overflowing during baking.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean: This ensures that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before storing: This allows the muffins to set and retain their moisture.

Conclusion:

These low-fat morning glory muffins are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. Packed with carrots, raisins, and walnuts, they offer a balance of flavors and textures. The reduced-fat ingredients make them a healthier choice without compromising taste. Enjoy these muffins as a grab-and-go breakfast or as a snack anytime of the day.
