Best Morning Glory Muffins

Morning glory muffin on a blue plate topped with shredded carrots.

My favorite morning glory muffins are healthy, hearty, and so delicious! Loaded with shredded carrots, apples, raisins, nuts, and coconut, they’re bursting with flavor and texture. My original recipe does not have eggs, making them vegan friendly!

Ingredients

1 and 1/4 cups (150g) whole wheat flour
1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
3/4 cup (159g) brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup (114ml) coconut oil melted
1 large apple shredded
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups grated carrot (about 3 medium)
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/3 cup walnuts chopped

Instructions

Line a muffin tin with paper liners and set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F).
In large bowl add the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt; whisk well to combine. Add in the applesauce, oil, apple and vanilla; whisk just until combined. Fold in the carrot, raisins, coconut and walnuts; stir until ingredients are combined. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (or with just a few crumbs attached). Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

Notes

If you make these into mini muffins, decrease the bake time to about 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the centers are fully cooked.
