These Sunrise Delight Muffins are a delightful twist on the classic morning glory muffins, packed with wholesome ingredients and a hint of citrus zest for a refreshing start to your day.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Using paper liners makes cleanup easier and ensures the muffins release cleanly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Ensure the sugars are fully dissolved for a smoother batter.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Sifting helps to evenly distribute the baking powder and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Gently fold in the grated carrots, raisins, shredded coconut, grated apple, and orange zest.
Folding gently prevents the batter from becoming dense.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Use an ice cream scoop for even portioning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking for even cooking.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the muffins from becoming soggy.
