Morning Glory Muffins (Grain-Free, Paleo)

I have fond memories of my Mom making Morning Glory Muffins for our family when I was a kid. I’ve missed having these muffins, so I recreated my Mom’s recipe using grain-free ingredients!

Morning Glory Muffins (Grain-Free, Paleo)

These nutrient-dense muffins are packed with vegetables, fruits, nuts and spices. They’re very filing and a nice treat for breakfast.

These muffins freeze well and I recommend reheating in the oven so you’ll have that just-baked-in-the-oven texture. 

Here are some other grain-free muffin recipes you might enjoy:

    Can coconut oil be subbed for palm shortening? If so, should it be in its liquid state?

      I haven't tested the recipe with coconut oil, so I can't say for sure, but I think it might work.

    I have heard that almond flour isn’t good to use as you are eating way too many almonds the flour form. It sounds like it makes sense. I guess once in a great while you could eat that many almonds but maybe not often and not give to kids.

    I know that sugar is an anti-inflammatory which I am trying to cut back on but I see your recipes call for honey and one had ketchup Do you have any recipes that are lie sugar?

      I'm not sure what "lie sugar" is. I do use moderate amounts of raw honey, maple syrup, homemade ketchup, etc. in my recipes.
