These are the best muffins I've ever eaten! Once I took them to a brunch. Three other women had brought muffins, too, but mine disappeared first, and everyone wanted the recipe! Even my husband, who doesn't normally like muffins, just can't seem to get enough of these!

Big Batch Baked GoodsWe enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

I agree with the recipe submitter - these are almost the best muffins I have ever eaten! All the different flavours of apple/carrot/pecan/coconut together are incredible. I did, like other reviewers, find them slightly oily so next time I will add less oil.

Try cutting down the oil to 1/2 cup instead of 1/4 cup.
I checked out other recipes that are similar to this and most others just use 1 egg and 1/4 cup oil. I'm gonna try that which should lead to much less fat (more diet friendly) and a lighter muffin.

I'm gonna try adding oats to it next time. It has a lot of oil and eggs so I'm also gonna replace some of the oil with applesauce I think.

I love Morning Glory muffins- and these are excellent. I used coconut oil and light brown sugar... moist and delicious. I almost never bake- but I'll be making these once a week!

This is a very hearty, filling muffin. Instead of just the all purpose flour, I used a four blend of all purpose, whole wheat and flax. Everything else was the same. These would make a great breakfast treat, as the name suggests. I will make these again.

This muffin recipe is fantastic. Even the day old ones are great. But next time I make it I think I might try using brown sugar to give it a richer flavor.

These muffins lived up to their recommendation. My 7 year old grandson loved them and did his Nana!
