Morning Glory Muffins
Description
These Morning Glory Muffins combine grated vegetables like zucchini and carrot along with shredded coconut and chopped walnuts for texture and subtle sweetness. The dry ingredients include sugar, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt, while the wet includes applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, avocado oil, and vanilla extract.
The batter is mixed gently to preserve texture without overmixing, then baked in lined muffin tins until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. The result is a moist muffin with spices and layered textures from the fruits, vegetables, nuts, and coconut.
The muffins store well in an airtight container for up to three days and freeze for up to two months, making them convenient for meal prep or grab-and-go options.
