Say hello to morning glory muffins, made vegan + gluten-free<\/strong>! A classic treat originally created by Pam McKinstry in 1978 at her Nantucket restaurant, Morning Glory Cafe, these muffins are lightly sweet, subtly spiced<\/strong>, and packed with fruits, veggies, AND nuts. OH yeah! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our gluten-free twist uses oat flour and potato starch (no almond flour!) to create a tender <\/strong>muffin that\u2019s wholesome<\/strong> and satisfying<\/strong>. Brew your favorite coffee<\/a> or tea<\/a> and let\u2019s make muffins! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is in Morning Glory Muffins?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The original morning glory muffins<\/a> by Chef Pan McKinstry are filled<\/em> with wholesome goodies<\/strong> that make them stand out from other muffins: shredded coconut, raisins, grated apple and carrots, pineapple chunks, pecans or walnuts, and cinnamon. For the classic muffin ingredients<\/strong>, she includes flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our modern twist keeps the majority of the wholesome goodies, but swaps some of the more classic ingredients to make them vegan, gluten-free, naturally sweetened, and even<\/em> more wholesome. Sound like your jam? Let us show you how it’s done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
