Made by You Monday -- Morning Glory Muffins

These are my favorite muffins. I make them only occasionally because I have no self-control when they are in the house! 

They are full of my favorite things -- carrots, apples, pineapple, coconut, dates, raisins. They make a luscious breakfast or snack straight out of the oven or refrigerator, and they freeze well, too.
