Morning Glory Muffins are super easy to make and will delight anyone who tastes them. They are light, not too sweet and go perfectly with a cup of hot tea or coffee in the morning. Because they are so simple and tasty, I often make them for our guests at The Lark Inn Guesthouses. This Recipe may also be found in our recipe book: Wedding Week at The Lark Inn. Let’s make some muffins!
