Easter Carrot Muffins

Since I'm not the hugest fan of chocolate, I decided not to go all chocolatey for Easter this year, so I baked my mum some mini carrot cakes. When she asked why I baked these, I told it's because it was Easter, there's always an Easter Bunny, and bunny's eat carrots. I also placed mini Lindt Rabbits on top of the cakes, but I don't all that clicked in with my mum, but still. These muffins/cakes were great. I just don't like grating carrots (or I just don't like my mums grater). I got this recipe from a Good Taste magazine, and added some walnuts, so it's more carrot cake like.

So the batter doesn't look very appealing, but it tasted good. I know this, as I'm always stealing tastes of batter before it gets cooked. I still like to lick the bowl and spoon once the bakery goods are in the oven.


I love muffin cases. They are cute ( and can be bought in different colours and patterns, and also foil). They also save on washing up. And I think that cakes and muffins look alot neater in cases.



The icing was fun to make. And yum to eat. It was just a simple cream cheese icing. The recipe asked for orange zest and orange juice, but due to my allergy to oranges, I used lemon zest and juice. Next time I make a cream cheese icing, if it wont clash with the cake, I will try it with lime zest and juice.
