Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (I used melted coconut oil)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 8 ounce can crushed pineapple (undrained)
  • 3 large carrots (shredded, about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • Turbinado sugar (for sprinkling on top of the muffins, optional)

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Muffin Tin
  • Muffin liners
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your muffins bake evenly and rise beautifully.
  2. Line a muffin tin with liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, blend together the melted coconut oil and eggs. Add the crushed pineapple, shredded carrots, raisins, and shredded coconut. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of turbinado sugar on top of each muffin for an added crunch.
  7. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your warm, freshly baked Morning Glory Muffins!

Notes

  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months.
  • To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes.
