Morning Glory Muffins (aka the best muffins I’ve ever made according to my husband)

April 8, 2014

I kid you not you guys.  He commented probably 5 or 6 times over the weekend about how good these muffins are and how they are by far is favorite muffins I’ve ever made.  EVER.  That’s saying a lot because I make a lot of muffins.  They are a staple in our house.

These muffins are loaded with yummy goodness and are so filling, but not heavy.  Even though Little A isn’t as picky of an eater anymore, I still like to have muffins on hand as a quick grab and go snack that’s somewhat healthy.

* Makes 1 dozen muffins.

Ingredients:
* 3 eggs
* 1 cup vegetable oil
* 2 teaspoons vanilla
* 1 cup whole wheat flour
* 1 cup all purpose flour
* 1 cup sugar
* 2 teaspoons baking soda
* 3 tablespoons chia seed
* 2 teaspoons cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 cup raisins
* 1/4 cup dried cranberries
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
* 1/2 cup coconut flakes
* 1 apple, peeled and shredded (UPDATE: You can also cut the apple into small chunks.  I made them again tonight, yes that’s twice in one week, and they were so good with the chunks).
* 2 cups shredded carrots

Directions:
* Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  If you have a convection oven turn it on to 350 degrees.
* In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, oil and vanilla.  Set aside.
* In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, chia seed and salt.
* Add in raisins, cranberries, walnuts/pecans and coconut.  Stir to combine.
* Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.  Mix until combined.
* Distribute mixture evenly among 12 lined muffin cups.  This should fill each cup to the top.
* Bake for approximately 25 minutes in a convection oven, 30-35 minutes in a standard oven, or until toothpick comes out clean.
* Allow to cool in pan 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

The crust comes out with just this perfect crunch.  I think I maybe (or maybe not maybe…..) ate 2 in one sitting right after they were cool enough to handle.

I could eat these every day they are so good.  And I love that you can see what’s in them.  Lots of good stuff in there.

Enjoy!

    Pinning!!! You had me with just the title, hahaha! Oh man, those look SO good! I love all the stuff that’s in them, totally making these! Watch out for them on my Instagram again LOL, I feel like everytime you post a new recipe, I’m going to be making it and taking pictures of myself devouring it, haha!

    Well, that’s quite a compliment! I love things with nutty goodness like this. YUM!

    Thanks for sharing this recipe. They sound absolutely fabulous! I think I’m going to make some. I like making extra baked goods and freezing them too. Then you can just pull them out the night before you want some and no baking required. 😉

      I love freezing muffins as well! They keep for a long time so I like to make them in batches. I’m sure your kiddos will love them too.
