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!
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:
