Best Morning Glory Muffins

"These hearty muffins have everything in them like carrot, apple, coconut, pecans, and raisins. I tweaked a couple of recipes for morning glory muffins and made my own perfect recipe. I put in some whole wheat flour and use less sugar. Serve these moist muffins warm for breakfast. The key to perfect muffins is not to over mix them."

  1. My mother-in-law gave me this recipe. It's great! Her recipe calls for salad oil instead of butter. I like to use a light oil like canola or even light olive oil. They freeze nicely too.

I don't really like to cook that much, but I love to bake. My favorite thing to do is bake yummy homemade cupcakes, brownies, cookies, and more. I enjoy eating bake goods as much as making them! I have a sweet Miniature Schnazer named Oliver that we adopted from the animal shelter. I like to collect old cookbooks, the oldest one I have is from 1913. My favorite magazines are Bon Appitite and Martha Stewart's Every Day Food. I just became a Certified Nursing Assistant. Around my house i'm known as the pissed off baker because when I bake you better stay out of the kitchen!!!
