Morning Glory Loaf Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Line two muffin pans with paper muffin cups.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and vanilla. Add the carrots, apple, pineapple, pecans, coconut, and raisins and stir together. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Scoop the batter with a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice cream scoop (I use rounded scoops of batter) into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Place the pans on a baking rack to cool and serve the muffins warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 9- x 5-inch loaf pan, 3 6- x 3-inch miniloaf pans, or 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Prepare Pineapple Upside-Down "Topping" if desired. Whisk together flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in large bowl. Whisk brown sugar, oil, 1/4 cup reserved pineapple juice, carrot juice, and vanilla in separate bowl. Fold sugar mixture into flour mixture. Stir in crushed pineapple, carrots, raisins, and walnuts, if desired. Scoop batter into prepared pan(s). Bake large loaf 50 to 60 minutes, miniloaves 35 to 45 minutes, or muffins 18 to 22 minutes, or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 5 minutes. Loosen edges, and turn out onto wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• For the cakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup mini loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Spread the pecans out on 1 side of a rimmed baking sheet, the coconut on the other, and bake until both are toasted, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool, then finely chop the pecans.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the butter, sour cream, brown sugar, vanilla and eggs in another large bowl. Stir the carrots, pecans and coconut into the egg mixture. Fold the flour mixture into the carrot-egg mixture until just combined. Divide evenly among the prepared pans (about 3 heaping tablespoons of batter per loaf). (Don't be alarmed if the batter seems skimpy; the cakes will rise once baked.)
• Bake until the center of a cake bounces back when pressed and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• For the glaze: Mix together the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, lemon juice and salt in a medium bowl. Top each loaf with about 1 tablespoon of the glaze, and spread evenly with the back of the spoon.
