You know those incredibly delicious, crispy on the top and warm and soft on the inside market fresh muffins? Ooh, I can picture them now. Why are those SO hard to recreate?! If anyone knows how to get a muffin to bake like that, please send me the recipe!

In the meantime, you can try out these very comparable Morning Glory Muffins. One of my favourite varieties that are surprisingly easy to whip up, as long as you have the ingredients on hand. They still give the fluffy middle and crunchy top, just with a bit less volume than the store bought kind.

With a mix of banana, apple, carrot, nuts and coconut, it’s like a party in your mouth. You can get a different bite throughout the entire muffin!

If you aren’t a fan of pecans, walnuts or coconut, feel free to leave them out or swap them for something you prefer. For example, slivered almonds or dried fruit would work great instead.

Hopefully you love them enough to incorporate into your daily morning routine or as a snack throughout the day. They also freeze wonderfully so knock your socks off and make a couple batches to save for later!

p.s. the reusable silicone muffin tin liners pictured here are lifesavers! Find them at most kitchen stores and thank me later.
