Morning Glory Muffins

Posted December 30, 2010 by Stone-Buhr Flour
Food writer, cookbook author and former pastry chef Ellen Jackson has been making her version of the famous Morning Glory Muffin for many years. Named for the Nantucket café where they were created in 1978, these muffins have it all-delicious flavor, ease of preparation and loads of good-for-you ingredients. Substitute a portion of all-purpose flour with whole wheat and no one will be the wiser.
