Morning Glory Muffins

A lot of my friends and family are on health kicks right now, keeping me hot on the hunt for healthy, satisfying recipes that are easy to make and freezer friendly. These whole wheat and healthy morning glory muffins have quickly become a favorite. Have you ever had a healthy morning glory muffin before? They’re an old school bakery favorite, and have been one of my favorites since I was a kid. They’re so moist and tender and sweet. Add a cup of coffee and oh mah gosh. HEAVEN.

Another bonus? These muffins are tailor-made to use up all those odds and ends you have hiding in the fridge. They’re loaded with:

  • fresh carrots
  • grated apple
  • sweet coconut flakes
  • crunchy walnuts
  • chewy raisins
  • coconut oil
  • whole wheat flour
  • a kiss of brown sugar
  • and love ♥♥♥

These muffins are made without eggs or any other animal products, so they’re vegan friendly.

And tastewise, they’re a cross between a cinnamon apple muffin and carrot cake. So they’re really the best of both worlds!!!

Morning Glory Muffin Recipe

Let’s talk ingredient substitutions!

These muffins are delightfully adaptable. Don’t like coconut oil? Try using canola oil, or a very mild olive oil. Not a fan of walnuts? Use almonds or pecans instead. No brown sugar in the pantry? Granulated sugar or coconut sugar will work! Hate raisins? Toss in dried cherries or cranberries for a tasty swap.

P.S. Unless you have a serious aversion to carrot/apple peels, there’s no need to take that extra step. These muffins are wonderfully rustic like that.

These hearty and homemade muffins are just the thing to fill you up when you need a quick breakfast or afternoon snack. Better than any muffin you’ll grab from the bakery… and way cheaper, too. You can thank me later 😉

One-Bowl Morning Glory Muffins

Prep 15 mins

Cook 20 mins

Total 35 mins

Author Ashley Manila

Yield 1 dozen

Simple, sweet, and supremely moist - these morning glory muffins are perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 apple, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated carrot (about 3 medium)
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup flaked coconut
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

Instructions

  1. Line a muffin tin with paper liners and set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F).
  2. In large bowl add the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt; whisk well to combine. Add in the applesauce, oil, apple and vanilla; whisk just until combined. Fold in the carrot, raisins, coconut and walnuts; stir until ingredients are combined. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups.
  3. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (or with just a few crumbs attached). Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

Notes

If you make these into mini muffins, decrease the bake time to about 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the centers are fully cooked.

        Just stumbled across this recipe and made them this morning. They’re very very good! I was worried because the batter was super thick but they worked (though I do need to increase the bake time a bit). I don’t do raisins so swapped in chopped dates (next time will reduce the sugar due to this), spelt flour instead of whole wheat, pumpkins seeds instead of coconut and walnuts as my nut of choice. Even my husband has declared these fantastic! I can taste the baking soda a bit so I’m wondering if I messed up the measurements.

    Oh my goodness. Literally. These muffins are perfection!!! I didn’t want to get my hopes up because a lot of times vegan muffins tend to be gooey or wet inside or dry, but these are absolutely wonderful! I tasted the batter because it smelled so good and I could tell it was going to be a winner. The flavor, the texture, the moistness, everything is perfect. I just added a little oats to mine because they’re morning muffins, and it seemed appropriate. I am in love with this recipe! Thank you!

    I made your delicious recipe with a few changes. For the grains I used 1c. oats,1/4c. spelt flour,1/4c. garbanzo bean flour, 1/4c. almond meal, 1/8c. hemp hearts and 1/8c. ground flax seed. I changed out 4 medjool (with 2/3c. water) to sweeten instead of sugar and omitted the applesauce. Instead of muffins I made them in a baking pan and cut them into breakfast squares. They came out so moist and fluffy. Thank you for the wonderful recipe.

    I made this and absolutely loved them!

I’m making them again as I speak but I’m making a few changes to make them oil free. Let’s hope they turn out as good as the first round!

But if you’re on a 1300-1500 cal diet like me, cut out the coconut flakes and they’re only 283 calories!

    for apple sauce I used pumpkin puree, for apple I used zucchini and I didn’t end up using raisins or coconut but chocolate chips because I was nervous about them and I figured the chocolate would cover a multitude of sins 😉 (if I do again I will use crasins and orange zest instead) They are so yummy, all thanks to baker by nature.

    I hardly leave reviews for recipes that miss the mark I just don’t try anything from the site again. But I’m curious how everyone got ‘great’ muffins from this recipe. Halfway through mixing it I realized There is NO liquid in the mix, unless I missed something?….how is 1/2c of oil enough liquid for 2c of flour, especially whole wheat??? Before I even added the carrot I could barely mix it, it was soo stiff.
    I am a very good cook and baker and I can make adjustments to recipes if needed.
    I didn’t want to take the chance of it not coming out right so I made the following adjustments:
    -added 3/4c of milk
    -1/3c of sour cream
    -and used 1c each of APF and Whole wheat

    Of course I had to bake it longer which was fine.
    I prefer moist muffins so I think the sour cream really helped.

    I will say I love versatile recipes so this has that advantage. and liked that I was able to make the adjustments to get them to taste how I preferred without wasting ingredients. I think otherwise they would’ve been hard as a rock.

Today I’m going to try subbing in blueberries somehow so that may be an interesting twist! Thanks so much for the recipe!

    I love all the ingredients but they didn’t come out looking as pretty as the picture lol ! I used a little coconut flour instead of all purpose flour !! An I added dates instead of sugar but I think will try with the brown sugar … I added an egg cuz it was dry ! But they still were fluffy ! What did I do wrong ? Or are the just extremely healthy lol ?

    Hi, bakerbynature! I just made these with my kids and we are eating them as I type. It just so happened that I already had all the ingredients in my kitchen. As I was mixing everything I wondered if the muffins would be too dry but they are pleasantly moist and tasty, especially inside. My kids approved on everything except the coconut chips and I think they would have been good had I placed them in my food processor to make them less bulky. I did this with the carrots as well and they most certainly would have pulled those out along with the chips had I not processed them. So, this is a was a really good way to sneak in some fiber for them! I will definitely make these in the future. Thanks for a yummy breakfast!

    These are wonderful muffin! I doubled the batch because I was so confident after reading all the responses and I was not disappointed. I reduced the sugar to 1/2 c. (1 c. For my double batch) and accidentally forgot the vanilla and neither omission was noticed. I will be making them again soon as I love to keep muffins in the freezer so that I can take one or two out the night before the morning I will enjoy them.

    I made these and they were delicious!! I did change a few things:
    First, I had homemade apple butter on hand from a recipe I’d made earlier in the week, so I used that in place of apple sauce and had to add 1 cup homemade cashew milk because the batter was more like a dough. Then, I didn’t have enough carrots so I subbed half a beet for roughage. Finally, I chopped some slivered almonds and used half of those and half chopped walnuts instead of all chopped walnuts. I added some coconut shreds to adorn the top of these babies, and had some batter left to make two soufflé muffins with! Threw some Earth Balance butter on while they were warm and they melted in my mouth. So delicious, definitely keeping these around as a frequent flyer in our kitchen!

      Hi Candace. Sadly, I have very little experience with GF baking, so I’m not sure what changes would need to be made. I think a 1 for 1 GF flour would be the best bet, since I’ve heard many have success with them.

      @Candace. I Made these into a gluten free version as I have hashimotos aswell. My GF version was Very easy. Swapped the wheat flour was 1 and 1/2 cups of coconut flour and I used 1/2 cup of gluten free all purpose flour instead of the normal flour. The Baking soda and bi carb is naturally Gluten free. Yay. I also used apple puree instead of apple sauce as they often hide gluten derivatives in the sauces. Other changes I made purely because of what I had on hand: Swapped the ground ginger for 1 tsp of minced ginger. It was Just enough. Shredded coconut instead of flaked. I also ground up the walnuts instead of just chopping as I like my nuts smaller. I had to cook these for 20minutes longer due to the denser flour conposition. They were Bloody beautiful.

They’re perfect, and sooo healthy~ The only thing I do different is to grind up oatmeal and use it in place of that 1/2 cup of white flour, and maybe add pecans instead of walnuts if I have none on hand.

    These have become our favourite muffins for breakfast, lunches and snacks during hiking trips. I have 2 versions that I adapted, in one I substitute All-Bran cereal for the 1.5 cups of whole wheat flour. In the other, I substitute a cup of crushed/drained canned pineapple for a cup of the carrots. Both are so delicious!! I’ve also made a version where I used quinoa flour instead of the white flour. All of the versions above make for a very dense muffin (as they don’t rise much) and all freeze equally well.

    I love all the healthy ingredients! I found the final product to have a strong baking powder/soda taste. I would omit the salt in hopes to cut down on the baking powder/soda taste (assuming the recipe needs that much rising aid?). A slice of cheese or butter somehow counteracts the soda/powder. Not sure why because those are salt too!

    Made these today. The mixture was unmixable upon adding the oil, apple, apple sauce, and vanilla. Holding out hope I tried as best As i could and then added the carrot,hoping they would moisten it enough to turn it into proper batter. Unfortunately, it remain dry and doughy. I used about a cup of cashew milk to make it more of a muffin batter texture. As a result, I now have 24 muffins, all of which are gooey, bad-gooey in the center.
    I wonder if perhaps 2 cups of flour is too much to have so little moisture. I will likely make them again, using less flour and without the milk. They taste amazing, though, so I will not be giving up just yet.

I’ve checked at least five times that I didn’t forget to add anything! The batter was not like a muffin batter, quite stiff and thick – almost like a dense cookie dough batter. The muffins don’t rise at all, and are very dry. I’m thinking they need some extra form of liquid. Any thoughts on what may be going on? The pictures look so goood!

    Yum! I just made these muffins and they are amazing! Made some modifications – like no oil, bananas instead of applesauce, and oat flour instead of other flours – and they turned out great. Thanks for sharing!

    I made these with the gluten free 1 to 1 mix by bobs mill. They came out tasty but did not rise at all. Was wondering if you had any suggestions on what to do next time. My 5 yr old still gobbled them up

    excellent! merci d’avoir mis des substitues équivalent pour ceux qui n’aime pas certain aliment ou pour quand on n’a pas les ingrédients. c’était très apprécier. donc, comme je n’avais pas d’huile de coconot, j’ai pris de canola et comme je n’aime pas les raisins, j’ai opté pour les canneberges. j’ai choisi les amandes tranchés comme noix et c’est un délice. peut-être un peu trop sucré à mon avis, mais je vais juste diminuer la prochaine fois la cassonade. merci encore pour cette recette végétalienne.

    Can I use whole wheat cake flour?? Or does it need to be regular whole wheat flour??

    Is there something I can use instead of the apple sauce? Would using the same amount of oil instead (in addition to the oil already called for in the recipe) work?

    Batter was extremely thick so I decided to make a “test” muffin. Did not rise was too dense and stuck to paper muffin liner. I added 3/4 cup milk and they were fine. I had substituted pineapple and a little pineapple juice instead of the apple. I added walnuts and a few pieces of dried crystallized pineapple on top. They looked good and tasted great.

    Love this recipe. It is so versatile. I have made them so many different ways. Subbing oat flour for the all purpose or wheat. Using zuchinni instead of carrots. Thanks for posting. It is definitely a favorite in our home.

    I made these exactly as the recipe directs except I added an egg and did 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1 cup white flour. They came out fantastic! This will be my only Morning Glory Recipe from now on.

    These are amazing! They were one of my first quarantine recipes and the beginning of my new baking obsession, and I have gotten the best feedback on these out of all of the muffin recipes I’ve tried! I love that they’re vegan, yet don’t have any funky/expensive ingredients, and are super easy to make. They’re delicious and not overly sweet, and are perfect for breakfast. I’ve probably made them 5 times already, and I think I’ll keep them as my go-to muffin recipe for the rest of my life. Thanks for the recipe!

    Thank you so much for this recipe! They remind me of the my favorite Morning Glory Muffins form a bakery in NY. I’ve been trying to replicate them during quarantine. I tried another recipe but this one is it! Delicious, perfect. I love that they are tasty but not too sweet.

    Hi, I am not much of a cook, especially baking. I’ve made these often and they have turned out well and taste GREAT. I switched out the oil and added more applesauce. It still turned out well. Question: The Tops are always nice and crunchy, but The base could use some extra baking. Will it hurt anything to bake longer??? Also, , I have used dried crabs each time, VG !! These are very moist. Looking forward to,the Pumpkin muffins! Thanks.

      Hi Kate. The addition of extra applesauce may be what’s causing them to stay a little undercooked. So you can definitely experiment with adding a few minutes of baking time 🙂

    I saw this recipe on Instagram and thought it looked interesting . I baked them today and they are, by far, the best muffins I have ever made! They are so unbelievably delicious!! The only thing I left out were the nuts because I just don’t like them in, well, anything :). I’ll be making these again and again!

    These look lush, can’t wait to get baking – but do I need to ‘buy’ apple sauce, can’t I just make some?
    Thanks…

    Was looking for a healthy, breakfast muffin to share with a woman who is hiking The Ice Age Trail and will be in our area tomorrow. These turned out perfectly. I will certainly make these muffins again. Muffins often get a bad rap for being overly sweet and unhealthy, but not these.

    These are fantastic! Big hit with the whole family. I cut down the sugar to 1/2 cup but next time I might try 1/3 cup sugar. I also only used 2 tablespoons of oil and the for rest of the oil I grated an over ripe mango and used that instead. This resulted in the most amazing moist muffins with a lower calorie count. Next time I will make these oil free. This recipe will be on repeat in my household! Nevermind the fact that they are one bowl and low mess! Thank you so much.
