I am always surprised how easy it is to make muffins, simply mix all ingredients together in a bowl. These muffins were discovered when the urge for something sweet hit and I had no butter in the fridge.
Ingredients
1 3/4 cup grated carrot
3/4 cup milk
1 egg lightly beaten
2 1/2 cups of Self Raising Flour
1/2 cup Oil
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon caster sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon mixed spice
Frosting
100g softened cream cheese (or use spreadable version)
75g softened butter
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind
11/4 cup icing mixture
Method
Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius.
Place paper muffin cases in a 12 hole muffin tray.
In a bowl combine flour, caster sugar, mixed spice, brown sugar, carrot and walnuts, make a well in the centre.
Add milk, egg and oil and mix until well combined.
Spoon mixture into prepared cases.
Bake for 20-22 minutes until golden and just firm to touch.
Cool completely before icing.
Cream cheese frosting: Beat using electric beaters, cream cheese, butter and lemon rind until light and fluffy, gradually add in icing mixture until well combined. Spread frosting over the muffins.
