This recipe has some wonderful ingredients. You won't believe all the goodness that goes into these muffins.
In addition to the regular ingredients these muffins contain carrots, apples, raisins, coconut, and sliced almonds. That's a lot of good munching.
Glorious Morning Muffins
2 eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups unbleached flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots (2 to 3 medium)
1 cup shredded peeled apple
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup raisins
3/4 cup sliced almonds, divided
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place paper baking cups in each of 18 regular-size muffin cups, or grease with shortening or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, beat eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla with wire whisk until well blended. Add flour, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in carrots, apple, coconut, raisins and 1/2 cup of the almonds.
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup almonds over batter. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan.
This recipe makes a big batch of 18 muffins. The last muffin recipe I baked and posted about was a good fruit-filled recipe, Apricot-Pineapple Muffins. Those muffins had a great taste, but weren't very pretty.
These Glorious Morning Muffins are a favorite of mine because they have both a great taste and a nice presentation.
