"These are the best muffins I've had!" was my husband's reaction to tasting these muffins. It didn't make 18 muffins though- only 12. Very moist muffin with a lot of texture. I also replaced 1/2 cup of flour with wheat flour which added a bit of flavor and I didn't use the dates.

Among the many muffins I bake, I make this recipe over and over. The muffins are moist and tasty; they freeze well. They are always a hit. Folks often ask for the recipe. The preparation is, however, labor intensive -- peeling, chopping, grating!

Good, but to sweet. Use 3/4 cup sugar instead! Change the dates for dried cranberries...

My family LOVED these muffins! We use to buy Morning Glory Muffins years ago from a bakery that's too far out of our way now. I was thrilled to find this and two other recipes here for the muffins. I made a double batch, baked some in tiny tins (about 10 minutes) and some in really big tins (about 22 minutes). Be careful to take these out at JUST the right time, as a minute or two makes a big difference. I'm going to try the other recipe with wheat germ and apple butter next!

I have made these muffins after I bought a tub of the batter from a fund raiser. This is just like the batter with the exception of pineapple. Highly recommended.

This recipe is great! Have been in search of a moist muffin mix with wholesome goodness...just made 'em and ate 'em (not ALL! of them). Will be perfect for toting to work. I used the idea of replacing 1/2 cup of white with whole wheat flour and crushed walnuts instead of pecans -- also had no coconut. Both Doggie-Daddy and I will heartily enjoy them! THanks.

Excellent recipe...I think a small can of pineapple, substituted for part of the carrots & apple, would improve this recipe even further!

Excellent! I followed recipe exactly and they turned out moist and rich, just sweet enough. I agree with the suggestions of substituting cranberries for the dates, swapping walnuts for pecans, adding or subbing pineapple for some of the apple and carrots as variations on the original, and I plan to do just that in the future, but I will also continue to make the original recipe too. Thanks for posting such a great recipe! NOTE--My yield came out as 12 regular size and 34 mini's, as I filled the muffin tins about 2/3 full.
