5
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and fold through.

6. Finally add the grated carrot and mix, use the largest side of the grater as were looking for large pieces of carrot not a fine mushy texture.
7
7. Spoon this mix into the lined cases, these muffins don’t rise too much so don’t be worried about over filling the cases.
8
8. Pop into the oven for 20minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

9. Remove and allow to cool.

10. If you have opted to make the cream cheese buttercream topping, cream the butter, salt, vanilla and icing sugar in a bowl until soft and pale in colour.

11. At this point add the cream cheese and mix through.
12
12. Spoon this into a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle and pipe some on top of the cooled muffins.
