The Best Ever Vegan Morning Glory Muffins made with all gluten-free and dairy-free ingredients. Filled with carrots, raisins, walnuts and have that delicious muffin top and fluffy cakey muffin base.
Hey what’s up hello to your new favorite muffins ever! These morning glory muffins are the ultimate breakfast muffin you guys. They are filled with carrots, raisins, walnuts and have the best flipping muffin top ever.
You would never know these are “healthier” muffins either. They are basically like a carrot cake muffin with the twist from the raisins and walnuts. Plus they are sweetened with some banana and coconut sugar and the flavors are just incredible. The texture of the actual muffin is also too die for and these are perfect for breakfast, snacking, dessert or anything.
Ezra also gobbles them up. I love sneaking in veggies to baked goods like these. Granted he does eat carrot son their own, but if you are going to eat a cookie or muffin, why not try to put a healthy twist on it?!
If you guys make these muffins at home, let us know!! I can’t wait to heat what you think.

We made these… delicious!! Wondering if we could substitute pineapple for the banana just add it in addition to the banana? Would they be too wet? So yummy!
Rachel
