Easy Morning Glory Muffins recipe. This healthy breakfast idea is made with carrots, banana, raisins and oats. A great nut free snack.
The first time that I tried Morning Glory Muffins was at my local coffee shop years ago.
Normally, I would never gravitate towards something that healthy looking. But that day, they just pulled a fresh batch straight out of the oven. The smell alone forced me to buy some. That was the best (and worst) decision ever. Best because I always knew where to get a good treat to go with my coffee. Worst because.. I always knew where to get a good treat with my coffee, and my wallet paid the price.
But not anymore! Let’s make them at home for less.

Tips and Tricks
These muffins freeze very well. All you need to do is allow them to cool completely before placing them in freezer bags. These muffins can be frozen for up to 3 months. Once you want to eat them, all you need to do is allow them to thaw at room temperature. Alternatively, you can warm them up individually in the microwave from frozen for around 15-30 seconds, or until warm.
There are so many different variations! I love these muffins because you can add or subtract the mix-ins to your liking. I love switching up the raisins for dried cranberries, or adding unsweetened applesauce instead of the banana. Feel free to make it your own!
