You know what time of the year it is—it’s vegan morning glory muffins time! Oh that sounds so cheesy, but it really is. Muffins are such an easy grab-and-go breakfast, and even better when they’re loaded with fruit and veggies like these ones.

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN MORNING GLORY MUFFINS
Make the flax eggs: Flax eggs are the key ingredient in these muffins. Normal muffins call for regular eggs, but in order to keep these vegan, we’ll be using flax eggs instead. One flax egg is 1 tbsp flaxseed meal+2 1/2 tbsp water, and this recipe calls for 3 flax eggs. So in total, you’ll combine 3 tbsp flaxseed meal and 7 1/2 tbsp water, stir them together and wait 5-10 minutes until the flaxseed has absorbed the water, creating an egg-like texture.
Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, syrup and vanilla together, then add the flax eggs. In that same bowl, you’ll grate the apple and carrots into that bowl and fold them in with a spatula before combining the wet and dry ingredients.
Fruit+nuts: I used Diamond of California Nut+Fruit Heirloom Blend for added texture. The Heirloom Blend comes in a few varieties, and I opted for the walnut blend, but any of them would work! You’ll just need to chop the nuts up so they’re a bit smaller than full-size.
