Healthier Morning Glory Muffins image

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.

Time 45m

Yield 24 muffins, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups grated apples (I used 2 large cortlands)
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
3/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
2 cups grated carrots (~2 large carrots)
3/4 cup raisins
1 cup milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar

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!

I'm not a big fan of muffins, but these are really good! They're not too sweet and they have a nice crunchy topping.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have carrots and zucchini on hand, so these muffins are a lifesaver.

I've made these muffins several times and they're always perfect! They're moist, fluffy, and delicious. I love the addition of carrots and zucchini.

These muffins didn't turn out well for me. They were dry and crumbly. I think I overmixed the batter.

These muffins are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I would probably reduce the amount of honey next time.

I love that these muffins are made with whole wheat flour and honey instead of refined flour and sugar. They're a much healthier option for breakfast or a snack.

These muffins are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love them and they don't even realize they're eating carrots and zucchini.

I'm not a big fan of carrots in baked goods, but these muffins were surprisingly delicious! The carrot flavor is very subtle and the muffins are moist and fluffy.
