Vegan Morning Glory Muffins!
These Morning Glory Muffins are soft, moist, and flavourful. The combination of shredded coconut, carrot, apple, raisins, and nuts makes a flavourful combination and ensures these muffins are super moist and delicious.
I’ve used whole food ingredients to create a healthier version of this classic muffin. Oats and coconut flour replace traditional flour, and dates and maple syrup replace traditional sugar for a natural alternative. This recipe contains tons of nutrient dense ingredients, such as flax seeds, coconut milk, and carrots. This results in a satisfying muffin that will leave you full and your blood sugar levels stable.

Can chicken eggs be substituted for the flax eggs 1:1?
livesimplyhealthy says
Hi Michael, regular eggs can typically be substituted in place of flax eggs 1:1, however I haven’t tested it in this recipe. Let me know if you try it out!
