Morning Glory Muffins
I am so excited to share these! I wrote, rewrote, and rewrote 3 different drafts of these muffins. I intentionally married the most critical tastebuds the world has ever known so that he can test all of my recipes, and I finally got two thumbs way up!
A rebirth of the morning muffin. A fusion of carrot cake, apple spice, and banana bread, the legitimate brain child of yours truly.
recipe HACKS:
-
You don't have to go out and buy oat flour, you can just blend oats in a blender till they become a fine flour.
-
If you don't want to buy dates, walnuts, and shredded coconut individually, you can replace these ingredients with 1/2 cup trail mix and it will do the trick.
-
If you don't want to grate/chop the banana, carrots, apple, and dates, you can put them all in a food processor individually and let it do the work for you!
-
you can use 1 tbsp apple pie spice rather than getting cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice (this seasoning blend includes all 3!)
