Freezer Friendly Morning Glory Muffins

I had a helper this morning with making my Morning Glory Muffins!

I made both the burrito packs and these muffins in the same morning due to time, so Allison was kind enough to help with these before school.

Muffins are one of my favorite foods, but I’ve never made Morning Glory Muffins before. The thought of adding tons of vegetables made me happy though, so I was all in!

It’s a pretty standard muffin recipe- combine the dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls, then mix together. The original recipe said this made 8 muffins, but I was able to get 15- and these are pretty big muffins!

The only hard thing about this recipe is shredding the vegetables. Not a big deal, but definitely time-consuming!

You can do it during your Sunday afternoon meal prep, or use a food processor to speed things up.

Are these muffins healthy?

These Freezer Morning Glory Muffins are made with tons of vegetables and oats, which adds plenty of fiber. And while they’re made with all-purpose flour, you can always substitute whole wheat flour for more of a fiber punch.

These muffins also contain olive oil, which makes the muffins moist and adds healthy fats.

Calorie-wise, they come out to about 230 calories. You can easily enjoy two of them for breakfast, or just one with a protein of your choice. I like to hard-boil some eggs earlier in the week to go with these.

Actually, I ate a couple of these for snacks because they wouldn’t fit in the freezer bag. And they were SO soft and delicious! Totally kept me full until lunch.

Can you freeze these muffins?

After you bake them, put them on a cooling rack for about 30 minutes to let them cool completely. Then either put them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, or keep them on the cooling rack, then place them in the freezer.

Once they’re frozen, you can add them all to a gallon-size freezer bag and just pull one out when you’re ready to eat! They defrost in the microwave pretty well.

-Use whole wheat or white whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose for extra fiber.

-If you don’t like zucchini, try extra carrots instead- or the other way around.

-Instead of olive oil, try applesauce. You can always cut them in half and add peanut butter for a healthy fat!

-Instead of raisins, you can try cranberries. I haven’t tried this but they could give an interesting flavor!
