Morning Glory Muffins


These muffins are by far the best muffins I have ever had.
Several years ago I had heard about Linda Fisher, a woman divorced and struggling to support her son and making muffins. She used her Mothers old pancake recipe and modified it into muffins, her and her son, went around to local businesses and sold them.

Luckily she eventually wrote a cook book "The Muffin Lady". I have made several of her recipes from it, but I think this one is my favorite. Along with her recipes comes a story that will amaze you with her strength and persistence.

Morning Glory Muffins
2 cups of flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon mace
2 carrots grated
1 apple grated
1 cup of oil
1 cup of sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup crushed pineapple
1/4 cup of chopped nuts

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Sift together the dry ingredients. Place the carrots, apples, oil, and sugar in a bowl and mix with an electric mixer until well blended. Add the eggs one at a time. Gradually add the dry mixture. Fold in the pineapple and nuts. Spoon into wax paper lined 12 unit muffin pan and bake for 30-35 minutes .

There is just a few things that I have changed up: first off I double the recipe for obvious reasons ( they are soooo good).
Second : I don't use wax paper I use cupcake liners
Other than that I stick with her recipe.

Hope you Enjoy them!
