Happy Friday guys! Recipe of the day is Carrot Cake Muffins – quick and easy to make and absolutely delicious.
If you love carrot cake, you’ll love these carrot cake muffins, for sure. They taste like carrot cake (no surprise here :-))and I topped them up with some chocolate for some extra indulgence. 🙂 You can skip the chocolate if you prefer or use the usual icing. It’s completely up to you, but I’d suggest to try them with a bit of chocolate on top – it gives them a whole different flavour. Also, walnuts are optional too. In case you have an allergy or simply don’t fancy them, just skip that step.
What you need:
- carrots
- butter
- sugar
- eggs
- chocolate
- baking powder
- self-raising flour
- cinnamon
- nutmeg
- cloves
- walnuts
