This Morning Glory loaf is a healthy breakfast masquerading as a cake.William MeppemeasyTime:1-2 hoursServes:6-8
Created at,and named after,a cafe in Nantucket in the 1970s,the Morning Glory is a muffin with heft (wholemeal flour,pecans and coconut) and sweet juiciness (carrots,apples and raisins). A healthy breakfast masquerading as a cake? I can tell you we sold a lot of them at my cafe in Melbourne in the ’90s.
The Morning Glory has never gone out of style in my view,though I’ve updated this recipe with coconut oil and made it into a loaf cake. The amount of sugar can be reduced if you want to legitimise its breakfast credentials,though the loaf will be paler and not quite as tender or moist.
