I don’t know about you, but quarantine has me baking regularly. Yes, even two months later. From all the bread, sweet treats, and most recently morning glory muffins, you name it and I’ve probably made it. I promise I don’t spend all my time in the kitchen. Although, at times, it sure seems like it.
Back to those muffins, though. I don’t make muffins often. Honestly, I forgot how much I liked muffins. Whether you enjoy them with coffee or as an afternoon snack, muffins are always a crowd-pleaser.
Last week, I used leftover carrot pulp and made Morning Glory Muffins! They are my go-to right now. In fact, they remind me of bran muffins, but WAY healthier.
These healthy morning glory muffins + low calorie + higher protein = my kind of breakfast!
