Morning Glory Muffins

My favorite gluten free morning glory muffins are healthy, gluten free and loaded with carrots, zucchini, apple, cranberries, seeds and coconut. They are super easy to make and sure to become one of your favorite breakfast or after school snacks.

What Are Morning Glory Muffins Made Of

Traditionally morning glory muffins are made of a little bit of everything whole wheat flour, carrots, raisins, apple and coconut.

Gluten Free Morning Glory Muffins

Our gluten free recipe takes this up a notch by including zucchini applesauce, dried cranberries, hemp seeds and sunflower seeds. Plus we use Bob’s Red Mill gluten free flour to make these amazingly moist and healthy muffins perfectly gluten free.

Vegan Gluten Free Morning Glory Muffins

Our morning glory muffin recipe is also vegan as we don’t use eggs or any other animal products. We use homemade applesauce in the recipe which adds to the moist texture and flavor. Making this a versatile muffin for all.

Morning Glory Recipe Ideas

As I noted above a morning glory muffin is a little bit of everything. So use what you have on hand. If you don’t have zucchini, use summer squash, pumpkin or pineapple. Instead of carrots use parsnips.

Use a variety of seeds or opt to add nuts instead. Raisins or any dried fruit can be added instead of the craisins. If you like more spice add cloves and nutmeg too.

Make the muffin your own. Use what you have in the pantry. These muffins are meant to be hearty, healthy, easy to create and super yummy.
