Morning Glory Muffins (everything-but-the-kitchen-sink… in a good way)

Morning Glory muffins are what happen when breakfast says, “Let’s be productive.” Carrots, apple, nuts, raisins, warm spice—basically a whole breakfast buffet disguised as one muffin.

They’re hearty, lightly sweet, and packed with texture. One of these + coffee and you suddenly feel like a person who owns a planner. 🧁✨
