A twist on the old morning glory muffin. Made with carrot and apple and a satisfying crunchy walnut topping. Walnuts are nature’s brain food, high in plant derived omega 3s. There’s a reason why these nuts are shaped like mini brains afterall...Hope you enjoy this modified morning glory muffin recipe!
