Sunday Morning Muffins

Cook Time: 25 minutes
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Yield: 24 muffins

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup grated carrots
  • 2/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two 12-cup muffin tins by greasing them lightly with oil or using muffin liners.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

  3. Add Wet Ingredients:
    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Crack the eggs into the well and add the oil. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. Incorporate Mix-Ins:
    Gently fold in the grated carrots, chopped pecans, and crushed pineapple into the batter until evenly distributed. The mixture should be thick and chunky with bits of carrots and nuts.

  5. Fill Muffin Tins:
    Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

  6. Bake:
    Place the muffin tins in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown.

  7. Cool:
    Allow the muffins to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  8. Serve:
    Once cooled, these Sunday Morning Muffins are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them warm or at room temperature with a spread of butter or your favorite jam.

These muffins are not only delicious but also fairly healthy, with the goodness of carrots and nuts. They make a perfect addition to a brunch table or a quick breakfast on the go. Enjoy the tropical twist from the pineapple, adding a refreshing note to each bite. Whether you’re baking for family breakfast or a gathering with friends, these muffins are sure to be a hit!
