1 cup/120 grams all-purpose flour
3/4 cup/85 grams whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup/177 milliliters whole milk
3/4 cup/160 grams packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs

1/2 cup/57 grams unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
3/4 cup/90 grams finely chopped walnuts, toasted
3/4 cup/112 grams raisins
1/2 cup/118 milliliters melted coconut oil

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, dark brown sugar and eggs until smooth. Stir carrot, apple, coconut, 1/2 cup of the walnuts and 1/2 cup of the raisins into the wet mixture. Stir in the melted coconut oil.
  • With a large rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cups. Sprinkle the remaining walnuts and raisins evenly over the tops of the muffins.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before starting, measure and chop all ingredients according to the recipe. This will ensure your muffin batter comes together quickly and smoothly.
  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add sweetness, moisture, and a delicious banana flavor to the muffins. If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple for a few days.
  • Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This step incorporates air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender muffin. Creaming the butter and sugar together also helps dissolve the sugar and create a smooth batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough muffin. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no dry streaks remain.
  • Fill muffin cups 2/3 full: This allows the muffins to rise properly without overflowing the cups.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: The baking time will vary depending on the size of your muffins and your oven, so keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time.

Conclusion:

Morning Glory Muffins are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They're packed with wholesome ingredients like carrots, zucchini, raisins, nuts, and spices, and they're naturally sweetened with ripe bananas. These muffins are also easy to make, and they can be prepared ahead of time and reheated for a quick and easy breakfast or snack. Whether you're looking for a healthy grab-and-go breakfast or a sweet treat to enjoy with your coffee, Morning Glory Muffins are the perfect choice.
