-Morning Glory muffins originated in a Nantucket cafe of the same name in 1978. Owner Pam McKinstry put together something that resembled carrot cake batter and baked them in muffin cups. They became very popular. Besides shredded carrots, the batter was mixed with apples, chopped nuts, raisins, pineapple, and sweetened coconut. This version omits the pineapple (they're great without it) and coconut, which is stale pretty much everywhere you buy it, but if you insist, add half a cup. Everything is held together with a brown-sugar batter made with oil and gingerbread spices. If you have tulip cupcake liners, which come high above the top of the muffin pan so the batter rises nicely, you can make 10 large ones; with regular pleated muffin cups, you'll get 12. Morning Glory muffins are very flavorful and not the least bit dry. A little dab of butter on a warm muffin is divine.
