Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 Cup of Grated Carrots
  • 1 Cup of Coconut Flakes
  • 1 Medium Grated Apple
  • 1/2 Cup of Grated Zucchini
  • 1 Cup of Craisins
  • 1/2 Cup of Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup of Cane Sugar
  • 2 1/2 Teaspoons of Cinnamon
  • 1/4 Teaspoon of Nutmeg
  • 1/2 Teaspoon of Ground Ginger
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoon of Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon of Salt
  • 2 Cups of All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 Cup of Sourdough Discard
  • 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 Cup of Coconut oil
  • 1 Egg Room Temperature
  • 1/3 Cup of Sour Cream Room Temperature
  • 1/2 Cup of Orange Juice

Instructions
 

  • Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, grate the carrot, apple, and zucchini. Then, add the craisins and coconut flakes to the mixture and set aside.*
  • *Note that this mixture may be a bit moist and that's okay. You don't need to dry it or drain it.
  • Now, mix together the brown sugar, cane sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, baking powder, salt, and all-purpose flour in a bowl and set aside.
  • And then, add the sourdough discard, vanilla extract, coconut oil, egg, sour cream, and orange juice together to a bowl and gently whisk it all together, but don't overdue it!*
  • *Note that the coconut oil will sort of separate from the mixture and that's alright.
  • Next, slowly add the dry ingredient mixture, the brown sugar, cane sugar, cinnamon, etc. to the sourdough discard mixture. Mix everything together until a more solid dough texture is formed. And now, add the grated mixture to the bowl and mix again until everything is thoroughly mixed together.
  • And then, line the muffin tin with the cupcake liners and fill each of them about 3/4ths of the way full of the sourdough morning glory batter.
  • Finally, place the muffins into the oven for about 20 minutes or until the muffins have risen, and you are able to stick a butter knife in the middle of the muffins and it comes out clean. Let the muffins cool off on a cooling rack and then enjoy!
