Morning Glory Muffins Recipe

I found this recipe for hearty muffins in a cookbook I received as a Christmas gift years ago. Now my family often requests that I make these, especially after we go apple-picking in the fall.

Big Batch Baked Goods

We 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

Delicious!! I've been using this recipe (with minor changes) for years. It is always requested when I cater to groups who meet in the mornings. I've cut back successfully on the amount of oil by using 1 + 1/2 cups applesauce and 1/2 cup of oil. My recipe calls for 2 grated apples and 4 cups grated raw carrots.
