Healthy Morning Glory Muffins
How many fruits and vegetables can you fit into one muffin? Five, if you’re talking about one of these upgraded Morning Glory Muffins.
And that’s without even considering the other healthy plant-based ingredients, like pecans, cinnamon, and chia seeds.
They’re also totally gluten-free and grain-free thanks to the use of almond flour and are sweetened with maple syrup instead of white sugar.
The only downside is if you make a batch at the start of fall, your family and friends are going to be asking for them all season long.
