Morning Glory Muffins

A few years ago when I went to visit my Aunt in Texas she made these fabulous muffins and they haven’t left the front of my recipe box since. This mixture of ingredients probably sounds slightly odd, but they come together beautifully for a healthy-ish breakfast food that the entire family will love.

Enjoy!
