Notes
Morning Glory Muffins are best served warm or at room temperature. You can enjoy them straight from the oven or allow them to cool before serving. They pair wonderfully with coffee or tea. For an extra treat, spread a little butter or cream cheese on top. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to three months.
