The Morning Glory muffin is a breakfast classic of American cafés and bakeries: carrot, apple, raisins, walnuts and coconut go in, so it's moist, high in fibre and not too sweet. One muffin has nearly everything a breakfast needs.

Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

Preheat the oven to 180 °C (165 °C fan) and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.
In a large bowl mix the flour, oats, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and salt.
In another bowl whisk the eggs with the oil, honey, milk and vanilla until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and fold until just combined.
Fold in the carrot, apple, raisins, walnuts and coconut.
Fill the cases about 3/4 full and bake for 22-25 minutes until a wooden skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean; cool on a rack.

Tips

Combine the wet and dry ingredients only until just mixed; an overmixed muffin turns tough.
Don't squeeze out the grated carrot and apple, because their moisture keeps the muffin soft.
Leave them in the tin for 5 minutes, then cool on a rack so the bottoms don't go soggy.
They keep for 4 days in an airtight tin and 2 months in the freezer.

Frequently asked questions

Why did my muffins collapse?

Too much liquid, taken out of the oven too early, or an overmixed batter; bake for the stated time.

Can it be made sugar-free?

Date paste or ripe banana can replace the honey, but the texture changes.
