Morning Glory Muffins

This is a great healthy muffin recipe. It calls for 1 cup of canola oil. That may seem like a lot but it translates to 3/4 TB per muffin. You can put less oil in, but the muffins won't be quite as moist. Also you can substitute any other type of flour to make them even healthier. I love to eat them warm with my homemade peach butter.

This is my base muffin recipe. You can substitute whatever fruits are in season for any

portion of the carrots or apple. For example you can add one cup of blueberries for one

cup of the carrots or for the apple. I made this last week with local cherries and blueberries

and I forget to put the sugar in, and they were still delicious. So if you want you can cut

back on the sugar or leave it out altogether. (Use an ice cream scoop to scoop the batter into

the pans.)
