Morning Glory Mini Loaves
Grandpa's Favorite
These mini loaves take me back—remember when everyone and their mom had a Morning Glory Muffin recipe? They were hailed as a "healthier" muffin, and looking at the ingredients, it's true! Packed with fruits, veggies, nuts, and whole grains, they're both nutritious and delicious. Don’t let the wholesome ingredients fool you, though—these muffins are undeniably tasty.
Recipe
Yield: 12 muffins or 8 mini loaves
Ingredients
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
2 cups shredded carrots
1 apple, peeled and shredded
½ cup raisins
¼ cup walnuts
¼ cup pecans
½ cup shredded coconut
3 large eggs
1 cup canola oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a mini loaf pan or muffin tin.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the carrots, apple, raisins, walnuts, pecans, and coconut.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, oil, and vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until fully combined.
Fill and Bake: Scoop the batter into the prepared pan, filling each cavity about ¾ full. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
