While browsing through recipes for a breakfast muffin with punch, I found Jaclyn’s Morning Glory Muffins recipe. I have to admit that while it was everything I would have loved to bite into, our family’s decision to eat healthier pushed me to make several modifications that hopefully will encourage you to try this recipe out.

These grab-and-go muffins are wholesome…

and yes delicious.

 

 

Honestly what else could you expect when you’re handed over a muffin crammed with raisins, cranberries, apple chunks, carrot bits, zucchini grates, walnut chips and almond slivers?

Mmmmm!

Here’s how you make these packed with punch

Wholesome Morning Glory Muffins.

Wholesome Morning Glory Muffins.
If you don't have zucchini omit this and do 2 cups carrots instead.
Course: Breakfast muffins
Servings: 18 -24
Author: Adapted from Jaclyn's Morning Glory recipe
Ingredients
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 or 3/4 cup honey - based on how sweet you'd like this or 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla essence
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1 cup grated zucchini
  • 1 apple peeled and chopped into mini chunks I used gala
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup raisins
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the dry ingredients- whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and the walnut + almond mix.
  3. In a separate bowl /your mixer, whip the eggs till they're slightly frothy.
  4. Add in the honey/sugar and mix well.
  5. Now add the applesauce, coconut oil and vanilla essence to the egg mix.
  6. Now throw in your carrots, zucchini, raisins and cranberries. Mix well.
  7. Gradually add to the wet mix your dry mix and ensure it blends well.
  8. Pour out the batter into prepared cupcake wrappers on the muffin tray, ensuring you fill this up to 3/4th the level only.
  9. Bake for about 15 minutes. (Timing may vary based on your oven, so test to see if the batter is baked through by running a toothpick through. If it comes out dry, you're good to go!)

 

If you feel you have more muffins than you’d like on your hands, be generous and share them out. These are so good!

You will have people asking you to whip up batches for more…

And you may even end up with the title of the Morning Glory Queen/King!!

    These look so tasty. I love making muffins the night before while I’m making dinner, so we can just grab and go in the morning.

  7. I’ve been trying to get healthier, especially with breakfast! My favorite these days, I mix frozen fruit and greek yogurt in the fridge the night before, the next morning the kids eat it with some honey or flaxseed sprinkled on top. The fruit naturally releases juice, really yummy and easy! Love the muffins!!

  10. These sound great! My daughter likes muffins and cupcakes so this would be a great option.

  11. What a great recipe to start the morning off great, or at least nutritious and filling.
