Morning Glorious Muffins
I love baking muffins, and these Morning Glorious Muffins are my absolute favorite. I adapted this recipe from one I found in a magazine years ago, and it’s basically foolproof. They are much like carrot cake, with the added texture of coconut and the warmth of cinnamon.
Fill each liner about 3/4 full. This pan is a part of the Texturra Performance Non-Stick Bakeware by Wilton, and I really love it. I have a couple of other pieces of this bakeware and it truly is non-stick with very easy clean-up, too. It looks gray in these photos, but it’s actually a pretty light turquoise.
Bake at 350° for about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
