Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups shredded carrots
- 1 cup grated apple
- 0.5 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 0.5 cup walnuts, chopped
- 3 large eggs
- 0.67 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Stir in the shredded carrots, grated apple, coconut, raisins, and walnuts. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these nutritious and flavorful morning glory muffins just as they are or with a spread of cream cheese or butter.
