Tasty Tuesday Morning Glory Muffins!

Donna sent me this recipe a while back, and since the Cat Master has done nothing creative in the kitchen for some time now, I was glad to have it ready to go!


Easy Morning Glory Muffins (Healthy Recipe) That My Men like

"These easy and tasty muffins are a glorious way to start any day. They combine the great taste and chewy texture of carrots with the wonderful flavors of apple, raisins, coconut, walnuts, and cinnamon." Cook Time: 20 Min Ready In: 45 Min. Makes 12

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
  • 1 apple - peeled, cored and shredded
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (Substitute 1 cup unsweetened applesauce)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the carrot, raisins, nuts, coconut, and apple.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, oil, and vanilla. Stir egg mixture into the carrot/flour mixture, just until moistened. Scoop batter into prepared muffin cups.

  2. Those muffins sound amazing. And I love baking. And I think I have all those ingredients too.

    And those buns, the straps, the picture overall, it makes you want to touch and explore.

  7. Well, as impressive as this view is from the back-I to admit my extreme curiosity about what might be going on in the front.....

    Thanks for the tip Donna! I think I'll take a break today. Oddly enough-I have a dentist appointment-but only for a cleaning! I'll check back later and see if there are any leftovers!
