These Glory Muffins are a deliciously moist and flavorful treat packed with healthy carrots, raisins, walnuts, coconut flakes, and apple.

Sweetened with natural ingredients like applesauce and fresh fruit, these muffins offer a comforting texture and a crunchy sugary topping for added indulgence.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (4 ounces)
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce (127 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (10 grams)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (260 grams)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (105 grams)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon (2 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda (12 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (3 grams)

Mix-ins and Toppings

  • 2 cups carrots, grated
  • ½ cup raisins (85 grams)
  • ½ cup walnuts, chopped (63 grams)
  • ½ cup coconut flakes (35 grams)
  • 1 apple, peeled and finely diced
  • Coarse sugar for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375º Fahrenheit (190º Celsius) and line a muffin tin with 16 paper liners. This ensures even baking and easy removal of the muffins.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently and mix just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  4. Add the mix-ins: Fold in the grated carrots, raisins, chopped walnuts, coconut flakes, and diced apple, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Fill the muffin tins: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin liners, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top of each muffin for a sweet, crunchy topping if desired.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
  7. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • You can substitute walnuts with pecans or omit nuts for a nut-free version.
  • Coarse sugar topping is optional but adds a delightful crunch.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and tender.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • These muffins can also be made in jumbo muffin pans; just increase baking time by 5-7 minutes.
