Easy Morning Glory Muffins
Ingredients
- 400 g (3-¼ cups) All purpose flour , sifted
- 2-¼ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 350 cups (1-¾ cups) granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 230 g (4 large) eggs , room temperature
- 210 ml avocado oil , grape oil, expeller-pressed sunflower oil, or any neutral-flavored oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 160 g carrots , peeled and shredded (about 2 carrots)
- 200 g apples , peeled, cored, and shredded (about 2)
- 160 g canned pineapple, drained, finely chopped or canned pineapple crushed, drained
- 100 g shredded coconut , unsweetened or sweetened
- 80 g toasted pecans or walnuts , chopped
- 160 g raisins
- rolled oats as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray, or use cupcake liners. Sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Blend the coconut, raisins, apples, carrots, pineapples, and walnuts into the sifted dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, oil, salt, and vanilla extract. Blend the dry ingredients into the egg mixture just until combined and no pockets of flour remain. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling the cups three-quarters full. Gently tap the filled tins to release any air bubbles. Sprinkle the rolled oats on the top of each muffin.
- Bake at 375°F /191°C until a skewer inserted near the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan on a rack for a few minutes. Then, transfer to a rack to cool completely.
