Morning Glory Muffins
Description
I’ve seen a few recipes of similar title before but this one is adapted from the Best of Bridge’s, ‘That’s Trump’ book, and it’s a lot less complicated and still very tasty. A ‘helpful hint’ is that any time a recipe calls for grated carrot, grate extra and freeze it in one cup bags – then you can make healthy recipes like this, quickly.
Ingredients
3/4 c. EACH flour, whole wheat flour AND brown sugar
1 t. EACH baking powder AND baking soda
1/8 t. EACH ground ginger AND allspice
1/2 t. EACH salt AND cinnamon
1/4 t. nutmeg
1 egg AND 1/2 c. buttermilk
1/4 c. canola oil AND 1 t. vanilla
1 can (14 oz/398 mL) crushed pineapple, well drained
1 c. grated carrot AND 1/2 c. raisins
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 and grease a 12 cup muffin tin. In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients and mix well, then in a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, oil and vanilla.
Add the wet to the dry and stir until just barely combined, then add the pineapple, carrot and raisins and again stir until just combined.
Distribute the batter evenly among the 12 cups and bake for about 15 minutes. Allow the muffins to rest in the pan for about 5 minutes and then remove to a rack to cool completely – enjoy!
