Morning Glory Muffins are delicious and such a treat to have for breakfast or as a snack.

The combination of shredded carrots and raisins works so well in these muffins, as the outside is slightly crunchy but the inside is soft and moist.

Tips

  • Add a small amount of rolled oats to the top of each muffin before putting them into the oven for a crunchy topping.
  • After baking for 23 minutes, poke a toothpick into the tallest muffin and check that it comes out clear to make sure the muffins are baked all the way through.
  • This recipe is adapted from the Morning Glory Muffins recipe from Martha Stewart.
