Morning Glory Muffins
"I wanted to thin out some of my cookbook collection so I decided to place some of my favorite recipes here. This is from the Amish Friends cookbook. Super easy and quick muffin recipe that I make any time I need to use up some left over apples. This recipe contains shredded apples and carrots, as well as coconut, nuts and raisins. This makes 30 muffins, and my coworkers always look forward to my bringing these into the office."

Oh YUM! These muffins are sooooooo good! They taste very coconutty with a lovely fruity sweetness from the raisins and great crunch from the nuts (I used almonds). Mmm!<br/>I opted for the more healthy version, so I used applesauce in place of the oil and also all whole spelt flour in place of the normal flour. I also reduced the sugar to 1/2 tbs for half the recipe and that was plenty for us. Loved this as an easy to make, quick and healthy breakfast!<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this wonderful recipe with us, Crafty Lady!<br/>Made and reviewed for the Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap #46 November 2010 - Group Beetroot. -
These had such a nice fluffy texture! I used apple sauce and they were incredible moist. They tasted a bit like fruit cake, without the heavy, dense texture. Great breakfast for the week. Thanks Crafty Lady!

I knew these would be great when I seen the added coconut. So moist too. Followed your recipe exact. Oh and used applesauce instead of oil. I thought the coconut would be enough added fat. Thanks Glo for another favorite!

<p>Update: I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound poodle mix named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter.
