How To Make Vegan Morning Glory Muffins
The amount of ingredients you need for morning glory muffin recipe is a bit overwhelming.
But I can guarantee that it’s worth all the work. The taste and flavors are on point, and this is a no-fail vegan muffin for breakfast
First, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper liners and lightly oil with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Before you start, shred the carrots using a hand grater or food processor with the grater attachment.
- Do the same for the apples. I like to keep the apple skin to add fiber to my muffins, but you can also peel the apples.
- Next, in a mixing bowl, whisk all the liquid ingredients together. The orange juice is going to curdle the almond milk, creating a sort of buttermilk. When combined with the oil, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract, you get a creamy mixture that will keep the muffin crumb moist and delicious.
- Set aside while mixing the dry ingredients together.
- In a large bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients together until well combined. Then, make a well in the center of the ingredients and pour the wet ingredients from the previous bowl.
- Use a silicone spatula to stir the ingredients together. Halfway through stirring, add the grated carrots, grated apple, chopped walnuts, and dried raisins. Keep going to distribute into the muffin batter evenly.
- Fill each paper liner up to the top and bake in the center rack of the oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean or with a little crumb on it.
- Cool at room temperature in a wire rack for an hour.

- Glutenvrij – Voor een glutenvrije versie, gebruik mijn recept. Omrekeningsgids voor glutenvrije producten.
- rozijnen – You can use any dried fruits like dried cranberries, dried dates, or apricots chopped into small cubes. Another option is to use dark chocolate chips if you don’t like dried fruits.
- Zonder Noten – Swap the almond milk for coconut milk or soy milk. Then, swap the walnuts for shredded coconut or pumpkin seeds.
- Appelmoes – You can replace the unsweetened applesauce with mashed ripe bananas, pumpkin puree, or sweet potato puree.
- Olie – I don’t recommend making this recipe oil free or the muffins might end up very dry. You can use any oil from melted coconut oil to avocado oil.
- Zoetstof – The recipe required a combination of liquid sweetener and crystal sweetener for the best texture. Don’t swap one by the other, but feel free to use any crystal sweetener like brown sugar, sugar-free allulose, or brown sugar. For liquid sweeteners, you can pick from maple syrup, sugar-free monk fruit syrup, or agave syrup.
- Orange Juice Swap – Try another citrus fruit like mandarin, lemon, or tangelo juice.
