Morning glory

Aubrey was looking for something fun to do and I was wanting to have a snack on hand for hungry Liam; baking muffins it is!
2 cups AP flour
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon 
quarter teaspoon salt 
2 cups shredded carrots 
A half a cup raisins 
A half a cup walnuts 
A half a cup unsweetened coconut
One apple peeled cored and shredded three eggs 
1 cup of oil 
2 teaspoons of vanilla


One of the most comforting
Muffin recipes I have is the morning glory muffin. This recipe is my go to!
You mix all of the dry ingredients together and set aside.
Separatly we combined the shredded carrots and apples then added in the toasted coconut, sultana raisins and walnuts.
Aubrey didn't want to waste the carrot ends so she helped us out!
There's a quick snapshot of Liam; he's on the move!
In the mixer we whipped the sugar, eggs, vanilla and oil together.
Then we added in the carrot mixture and beat that with the paddle attachment.
Then we added in the dry ingredients just until combined.
Once Aubrey gave the thumbs up; we were ready to portion the batter into our parchment lined muffin tins. These are my new favourite muffin liners; they don't stick which allows you to enjoy the entire muffin!
At 3/4 's full these baked for 22 minutes at 350F.
They rose perfectly!
All portioned up; a dozen to keep and two dozen to give away! 
The best reaction I got was; I hate raisins but these were great; my thoughts exactly!
Aubrey loved taking them to the neighbours; she loves feeling apart of the giving experience!

Liam approved as well!
