Morning Glory Muffins

Muffins! They make a great quick breakfast snack. Pair it with a glass of milk and a banana and everyone is happy...Unless you are 6 years old and catch your mom sneaking carrots into the mix, then no one is happy and you get the muffins to yourself!

I love this recipe!! Way back when (okay not that long ago) a friend was baking in my kitchen for my on-farm market. She is the best baker and prepared the most delicious baked goods. My family was so spoiled by her. Even better she wrote all the recipes in a binder for me. I don't often share, but when a muffin is this good I can't keep it from my friends.

I had to make just a few changes as I was low on a few things. Instead of oil I had to use butter, which is not big deal. I did one cup melted butter. It worked well for me. I kept the nuts out so I could send a muffin to school. No raisins in the pantry, I missed them in the muffin. OH and I added in bran flakes & chocolate chips because why not.

3 eggs
