Description

A cozy hug for your soul, these Morning Glory Muffins are made with wholesome ingredients like grated zucchini, carrots, and applesauce, allowing for guilt-free indulgence.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut (shredded)
  • 1/2 cup walnuts (chopped)
  • 1 cup zucchini (grated and wrung out)
  • 2 cups carrot (grated)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350° F. Line muffin tins with paper liners and set aside.
  2. Whisk together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, coconut, and walnuts until combined.
  3. Add in grated zucchini and carrots, stirring gently to incorporate.
  4. Create a well in the center of dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients: applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, avocado oil, and vanilla extract.
  5. Whisk the wet ingredients together until blended, then slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet using a rubber spatula, mixing until just combined.
  6. Scoop the batter into prepared muffin tins, filling each liner about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 7 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
