I love to snack on muffins and "morning glory" muffins with raisins, carrots, and nuts are one of my favorite kinds to make. I've made Bakerita's paleo version before and they were delicious, but I was short on time this week so I took a shortcut.

I bought Simple Mills' banana muffin mix and followed the muffin recipe, but with modifications. I started with a mashed banana, then mixed it together with the liquids (I used half the recommended water). After whisking in the mix, I folded in 1/2 cup shredded carrots and 1/3 cup golden raisins. I was too lazy to chop the 1/2 cup pecan halves I had, so I pressed some into the top of each muffin before baking.

Hi, friends! I’m back (Really trying to be more consistent!) I decided to finally try a Simple Mills mix. I’ve been wanting to for a while and when I found them at Green Tree while visiting my family and I bought the pumpkin and apple cinnamon flavors. Apple cinnamon is next! They turned out SO good. I love that they’re so flavorful from the spices, but not overly sweet. 10/10 would buy again…
