Teresa Ambra
Morning Glory Muffins are absolutely spectacular! These delectable muffins are filled with carrots, pineapple, coconut, raisins, apples, and pecans and taste absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Terrific for week end, company or holiday breakfasts. These fruity and crunchy muffins are so drool-worthy you'll swoon from the first bite.

Notes

NOTE: These muffins are very dense because of the amount of fruit included in the batter. I used 3 cups flour, but the muffins need another ½ cup or so more of flour to raise and not fall flat.
