These Sunrise Delight Muffins are a delightful twist on the classic morning glory muffins, featuring a blend of wholesome ingredients and a touch of citrus zest for a refreshing start to your day.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Using paper liners makes cleanup easier and ensures the muffins release easily from the tin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients together can help ensure even distribution of the baking soda and spices.
In another bowl, mix the grated carrots, grated apple, shredded coconut, orange zest, raisins, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil.
Mix the wet ingredients just until combined to avoid overmixing.
Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so stir until you no longer see dry flour.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup to the top.
Using an ice cream scoop can help portion the batter evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking for even cooking.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling the muffins on a wire rack prevents them from becoming soggy at the bottom.
