Morning Glory Muffins

From EatingWell: September/October 1994, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)

These Morning Glory muffins are full of everything you'd expect in the bakery favorite—carrots, apple and raisins, topped with nuts and toasted wheat germ. But most versions are high in fat so we substituted apple butter for much of the fat, which makes each bite superbly moist and tender. If raisins aren't your favorite, substitute an equal amount of the dried fruit of your choice.

Easy to Vegan-ize

I needed a healthy snack to send my husband to the hospital for a 24-hr shift. I always worry he's not eating enough there. He said they were the best muffins I've ever made and couldn't even tell they were vegan! I just used 3 Ener-g "eggs" and folded the wheat germ into the batter. I made only 12 so there would be a nice big muffin top. Worked perfectly!

Pros: Excellent flavor

Don't grate the carrots

Easy to make, very filling and super moist. Tip: put the carrots & apple in the blender or food processor....cuts the time to make them by a lot. I used applesauce instead of apple butter. Gonna try the pumpkin next time.

Pros: Easy to make, can substitute ingredients well

Delicious! Will make again

I loved these. When I knew I had them, I wasn't tempted by buying treats at the cafe.

I used pumpkin puree instead of apple butter and they turned out great. Pretty color!

I loved this recipe as is but I made some changes later. I wrapped them in plastic film and froze them. Took them on the plane to eat as snacks. Awesome. I had leftovers when I arrived at my mother in laws house. We heated them up in the microwave. They were still good. I had to make some before I left for her, and for the plane ride home. :) I changed somethings to it now, to suit my taste even more. :)

My husband said these were the best muffins I've ever made, and they are really good. I used applesauce instead of apple butter, and cranberries instead of raisins. My husband and I both agreed they were just a little too sweet, so I will cut back on the sugar next time, but otherwise, the blend of flavors is wonderful. They freeze well too. Just pop them in the microwave for about 30 seconds and they are just as good.
