Attack of the killer muffins

I bussed tables, cooked, cleaned, chopped, took orders and managed shop at Judy’s Cafe during summers from my sophomore year in high school through college. It was there that I became addicted to the Glorious Morning Muffin, a baked good packed with carrots, raisins and nuts. It was basically carrot cake made in breakfast form.

After searching for the recipe for my favorite muffins, I found one that closest resembles the one I devoured at Judy’s. Whole Foods has managed to make it somewhat healthy; the recipe is here.

I went muffin-crazy for Thanksgiving and made Morning Glory Muffins along with Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. It’s best to make a few dozen and then freeze them for future muffin attacks.
