Morning Glory Muffins
Description
These muffins start with whole wheat flour mixed with sugar and warm spices like cinnamon, providing a wholesome base. Wet ingredients include vegetable oil and eggs mixed with undrained crushed pineapple, which adds moisture and mild tang. Shredded carrots, raisins, and unsweetened coconut contribute texture and natural sweetness throughout. The batter is spooned into paper-lined muffin tins and optionally sprinkled with turbinado sugar for a delicate crunch. Baked at 350°F until a toothpick comes out clean, the muffins develop a golden top and tender interior. Stored in an airtight container, they stay fresh for several days and can be frozen for longer storage.

Using a spatula, stir in the carrots, raisins and coconut. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each three-quarters full. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar, if using.
