  • Transfer the muffin batter to the prepared muffin pan, dividing the batter evenly between the 12 cups. Spread the muffin batter out on top to help with even baking.
  • Bake the muffins for 16-20 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Mine baked in exactly 18 minutes.
  • Cool the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely or serve warm.

Notes

  1. I used my Nightshade Free Gluten Free Flour Blend in this recipe. I highly recommend it for muffins.
  2. You can omit the walnuts to make these muffins nut-free.
  3. Use unsweetened coconut milk beverage or plain, unsweetened plant milk of your choice to make dairy-free morning glory muffins.
  4. Store these muffins in an air-tight container at room temperature for 2 days or freeze for 3 months.
