How to Make Healthy Carrot Cake Muffins

Healthy Carrot Cake Muffins Recipe: Despite the fact that carrots and nuts are nutritious ingredients, carrot cake is still incredibly high in sugar and fat. Your piece of cake could contain anywhere from 300 to 600 calories, depending on the size of the cake. In comparison to normal cake, carrot cake is generally the healthier option. Carrots offer a variety of nutrients that are crucial for health, and the cake itself frequently uses whole wheat flour and has less sugar than other types. Carrot cake is a terrific alternative if you're seeking a healthier treat.

1.

The oven should be heated to 350°F (175°C).

2.

The eggs should be beaten till frothy and light in a large bowl.

3.

Greek yoghurt should now be added, and the mixture should be smooth and fluffy.

4.

Add the milk, vanilla essence, and maple syrup. Once more, beat the mixture to achieve smoothness.

5.

Over the wet ingredients, sprinkle the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Just until mixed, fold the wet and dry ingredients together with a rubber spatula.

6.

Portion the batter into a 12-cup muffin tray that has been buttered using a medium ice cream scoop.

7.

Bake the muffins for 20 minutes, or until they've risen and set.

8.

Cream cheese should be smoothed out in a small bowl for the icing.

9.

Once the maple syrup and vanilla have been added, whip the mixture once more to ensure thorough blending.

10.

Use a tiny ice cream scoop to spread some icing on top of the muffins once they have cooled. To even out the icing on top, lightly tap the muffins against the counter.

Enjoy!
