The BEST Morning Glory Muffin Recipe

These are a great nutritious breakfast to toss in your bag and eat in the car. This is based off of the King Arthur Flour recipe, and so far it is the best I have found.

3/4 cup raisins
2 cups King Arthur whole wheat flour
1 cup (7 1/2 ounces) brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups carrots, peeled and grated
1 large or 2 medium tart apples, peeled, cored, and grated
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup wheat germ
1/3 cup rolled oats
3 large eggs
2/3 cup (4 5/8 ounces) vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup (2 ounces) orange juice
zest from 1 orange

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin, or line it with papers and spray the insides of the papers. To make the muffins: In a small bowl, cover the raisins with hot water, and set them aside to soak. Add EVERYTHING to the bowl and stir until evenly moistened. Add Raisins. Fill Muffin tins almost to the top.
Bake for 25 to 28 minutes, until nicely domed and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven, let cool for 5 minutes in their pan on a rack, then turn out of pans to finish cooling.
