 I love the way that our taste buds can bring back memories of different times in our lives. One bite of these Morning Glory Muffins and I was back in my early twenties going to my first real job as an adult. As I would head to my job as a licensed optician I would walk by the Jordan Marsh bakery and the smell of brewing coffee and freshly baked muffins would draw me in. Jordan Marsh was a large department store that was bought out by Macys in the early 90’s. The location they had in the mall I worked in had a bakery that was famous for their Blueberry Muffins but I always went for the Morning Glory Muffins which were equally delicious in my opinion. It was also my first taste of a mocha coffee…half coffee half hot chocolate. It was always a great way to begin my work day!

Morning Glory Muffins

I searched around for a delicious Morning Glory recipe but could not find one that had all the ingredients that I was looking for so I just made up my own.  I included a combination of carrots, apple, pineapple and coconut. Morning Glory Muffins also usually include raisins and walnuts but I don’t care for raisins in my baked goods and didn’t have any walnuts but you could certainly add them in when you bake them. They received a thumbs up from all my taste testers and did not last very long so I would say they were a success. I hope they add a great start to your day! Enjoy!Morning Glory Muffins

    Wow, memories! Macy’s bought out my local department store too, and they also stopped selling food. What a bummer!
    These muffins look great. So full of nutrients and still delicious!
