Bright, Bold, and Blissfully Vegan: Morning Glory Muffins That’ll Power Up Your Day

Vegan Morning Glory Muffins are a delightful way to start your day with a burst of flavor and nutrition. These muffins remind me of weekend mornings when the kitchen is filled with the warm, comforting smell of cinnamon and freshly grated carrots.

Packed with wholesome ingredients like shredded apple, raisins, and coconut, they’ve become a favorite in my home. Each bite is a perfect balance of sweetness, crunch, and spice, and they’re the kind of treat that feels both indulgent and nourishing at the same time.

What makes these muffins really stand out is the use of flax eggs, which keeps them light and fluffy without the need for traditional eggs. The combination of rolled oats and whole wheat flour gives them a hearty texture, while maple syrup adds a gentle, natural sweetness that pairs perfectly with a cold glass of Iced Tea Lemonade or even a Blueberry Smoothie.

Trust me, one of these muffins with your morning coffee, and you’re set for the day.
