MORNING GLORY MUFFINS FOR YOUR EASTER BRUNCH

What a beautiful box!

What's inside is....shall we say.....

glorious! 

Welcome this blessed Easter day by welcoming family and friends 

to a festive and delicious springtime brunch! 

These muffins are SO good! I always baked these muffins for friends when we would have get-togethers and also for coworkers to enjoy a special treat with their morning coffee. They disappeared all too quickly and everyone always asked for the recipe! Even the darling.....who normally does not like raisins or anything with nuts, can't seem to get enough of these! I decided they would be perfect to serve along with that Southern Living breakfast casserole and cheese grits for Easter Sunday brunch! Add fresh fruits and an array of juices and you will have a beautiful start to your morning!
