Wholesome carrot and apple muffins packed with fruit and nuts—naturally sweet, with no added sugar.

Prep: 10 min

Cook: 25 mins

Level: Beginner

Makes: 12

Contains: Nuts, honey.

Ingredients

  • 4.6 oz. (130g) carrots, grated

  • 6 oz. (170g) apples, peeled & grated

  • 3.5 oz. (100g) ground almonds

  • 2.1 oz. (60g) raisins

  • 1½ tsp. mixed spice

  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

  • 1 tsp. baking powder

  • 2.6 oz. (75g) ricotta cheese

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

    For the frosting:

  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

  • 4.4 oz. (125g) cream cheese

  • 2 tsp. honey

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-hole muffin tin with small muffin cases.

  • Place all the ingredients for the muffins into a large bowl and beat together with a wooden spoon to form a cake batter.

  • Divide the mixture equally between each of the muffin cases and place the muffin tin into the hot oven. Bake the muffins for 25 minutes, by which time they will be cooked through and a little golden on the top. Remove the muffin cases from the tin and place on a wire rack to cool.

  • While the muffins are cooling, make the frosting, by whipping together the vanilla extract, cream cheese and honey, adding a splash of water to slacken if needed.

  • Once the muffins have cooled completely, spread the cream cheese icing on top.
