Morning Glory Muffins
Description
These muffins feature a combination of flours and oat bran providing a hearty base, complemented by the natural sweetness of carrots and raisins. Walnuts add a crunchy element, and shredded coconut imparts a subtle tropical flavor and texture. The use of vegetable oil and applesauce keeps the muffins moist without heaviness. Baking is done at a moderate temperature until a toothpick comes out clean, ensuring they are cooked through but still tender.
The blend of ingredients offers a balance of flavors and textures, with the cinnamon adding warmth and depth. Morning Glory Muffins suit morning meals or snacks that benefit from a good mix of fruits and nuts for energy and variety. They can be cooled and stored or taken on the go easily.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour $0.10
- 1 cup whole wheat flour $0.16
- 1/2 cup oat bran $0.52
- 1 cup sugar $0.18
- 2 tsp baking soda $0.08
- 2 tsp cinnamon $0.12
- 1/4 tsp salt $0.02
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil $0.24
- 3/4 cup applesauce $0.38, unsweetened
- 3 egg $0.53, large
- 1 tsp vanilla $0.28
- 2 cups carrot $0.49, 4 medium, shredded
- 1/2 cup raisins $0.28
- 1/2 cup walnuts $0.84, chopped
- 1/2 cup coconut $0.25, shredded
Instructions
- Wash and peel the carrots. Using a cheese shredder, shred the carrots into a bowl and then set them aside. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oat bran, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
- In another fairly large bowl, combine the wet ingredients: vegetable oil, applesauce, eggs and vanilla. Whisk until evenly combined. Stir in the carrots, raisins, walnuts and coconut.
- Pour the bowl of wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir just until everything is moistened and combined. Over stirring can give the muffins an undesirable texture.
- Line a muffin tin with paper cups or spray with non-stick spray. Fill the cups to the top with the muffin batter. Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack.
