Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup vegetable oil, plus extra for the pan (see Cook's Note)
3 extra-large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups grated carrots, unpeeled and grated on a box grater
1 Granny Smith apple, unpeeled and grated on a box grater
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup raisins
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Line two muffin pans with paper muffin cups.

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Scoop the batter with a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice cream scoop (I use rounded scoops of batter) into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Place the pans on a baking rack to cool and serve the muffins warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Chop vegetables, measure out spices, and bring ingredients to room temperature before you start baking to save time and ensure even cooking.
  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are sweeter and will yield a more moist loaf. If your bananas aren't ripe enough, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple for a few days.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the loaf is cooked through.
  • Let the loaf cool completely before slicing: This will help the loaf hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Morning glory loaf is a versatile and delicious bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It's easy to make and can be adapted to your own personal preferences. With its moist texture, sweet banana flavor, and crunchy nuts, this loaf is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
