Wake up with these Morning Glory Muffins! They're loaded with pineapple, carrots, raisins, nuts and other delicious things!

Morning Glory Muffins on a pretty towel.

Quick bread and muffin recipes are my favorite!  This Morning Glory Muffin recipe is a little different than the muffin recipes that I currently have.  These are a dense, hearty muffins that are packed with raisins (unless you don't want raisins), pineapple, carrots, nuts and applesauce.  I think they fall somewhere in between a zucchini/banana bread and a carrot cake.  They're super delicious, not too sweet and freeze really well!

What are morning glory muffins?

They are a dense muffin.  They have more of a zucchini or banana bread texture.  They are also full of grated carrots, pineapple, sometimes apple pieces, coconut, nuts, raisins, dates or other similar ingredients.  

How to make morning glory muffins:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line 18-20 muffins cups with liners.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar.
  3. Add the eggs, vanilla and applesauce.
  4. Beat in the cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 1 cup of the flour.
  5. Mix the carrots, pineapple, nuts and raisins in by hand with the last cup of flour.
  6. Divide the batter among the muffin liners filling each nearly to the top.
  7. Bake in your preheated oven (350 degrees) for 15-20 minutes.
  8. A toothpick should come out clean.

Can you freeze these muffins?

Yes, once they are completely cool wrap them tightly with saran wrap and put them in an airtight container.  Pop them in the freezer.  Thaw at room temperature.

Need more muffin recipes?

Muffins are one of my favorite breakfast foods.  My family's number one favorite are these Chocolate Chip Muffins.  My personal favorite are these Wild Blueberry Muffins.  I also have a great Strawberry Muffin recipe, a Raspberry Poppy Seed Muffin recipe  and a Fresh Peach Muffin recipe for when these fruits are in season.
