March and Morning Glory Muffins

I am ready to start March with a healthy breakfast. When these muffins are baking the kitchen is enveloped in a comforting, spicy smell that reminds me of Grandma's house. Find a favorite tea blend or brew a fresh cup of coffee and enjoy these warm out of the oven . They make a great snack at work also.
