- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground cardamom (optional)
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 1 medium apple, peeled, cored & shredded

- ½ cup milk
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Equipment

How-to
- Preheat oven to 350º
- Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add fruit and nuts and stir to coat ingredients with flour
- Whisk together wet ingredients in a medium bowl (or measuring cup as Maria demonstrates in the video which makes for easy pouring). Pour into dry ingredient mixture and fold together with a spatula until just combined, with only 10-15 strokes
- Scoop into muffin tins, filling each about ¾ full
-
Bake 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean
Tips
- This recipe can easily be doubled to feed a crowd or freeze for later
- You can substitute all-purpose flour for the oat and whole grain flours, but you'll lose some fiber, protein, and minerals

Maria Collins is a food photographer, avid home cook/baker, and experienced pastry chef from Austin, Texas. She didn't consider herself to be much of a cook until her mid-20s, when she taught herself by watching "a ton of PBS cooking shows" and used cooking magazines and websites to research the fundamentals of food science. As she came to understand how and why cooking works, she also developed a love for the bright flavors of the Latin market in her neighborhood. Now in New England, Maria cooks and bakes with whole grains and unrefined foods as much as possible, makes lots of tacos [always on corn tortillas], and documents her kitchen adventures on her blog, Whole-Grain Texan in Yankee Land.
These delicious muffins are so moist and tender you won't believe they're healthy. Packed with carrots, apples, coconut, raisins, pecans and two different whole grain flours, Maria's Morning Glory Muffins offer all the fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals you need to start your day and keep you from craving that 10 a.m. snack.
