Are These Morning Glory Muffins Healthy?

These muffins include a combination of health ingredients such as veggies, fruit, and cinnamon. Morning glory muffins do not contain any butter which means you will decrease the amount of fat compared to other muffins recipes.

You can change some other ingredients to make morning glory muffins even healthier if you like. For example, you can use whole wheat flour instead of all porpuses flour. Also, you can use honey instead of sugar. However, the original recipe is completely good and healthy.

7. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and stir until just combined. 
8. Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin cups using a standard (2 ¼-inch) ice cream scoop (I use rounded scoops of the batter).

How to Store Morning Glory Muffins

At Room Temperature:

Morning glory muffins can last at room temperature for 1 to 2 days. All you need to do is to wrap each muffin with plastic wrap or place them into airtight containers and place them in a clean place.

In the Fridge:

Properly stored morning glory muffins can last in the fridge for 1 week if you place them in airtight containers.

In the Freezer:

Cool the morning glory muffins completely before wrapping and freezing them. To freeze the muffins, wrap them securely in foil or freezer wrap, or place in freezer bags. Then, label them with the name of the recipe and the date. The morning glory muffins can be stored frozen for up to 3 months.

How to Reheat Morning Glory Muffins

 In the Oven:

1. Preheat the oven to 300 F. 
2. Wrap each morning glory muffin in heavy foil.
3. Reheat for 10 to 15 minutes for standard-sized muffins or 25 to 30 minutes for jumbo-sized muffins.
4. Serve and enjoy!

In the Microwave:

1. Place an unwrapped morning glory muffin on a microwave-safe plate.
2. Microwave on HIGH for about 1 minute.

In the Air Fryer:

1. Preheat the air fryer to 300 F.
2. Place the morning glory muffins in the air fryer basket, wrapped.
3. Reheat the muffins for 2 to 3 minutes until warmed through.

For frozen morning glory muffins, just thaw them at room temperature or in the fridge, and then reheat them. Usually, it takes 4 to 5 hours in the fridge for the muffins to completely thaw.
