Ingredients
- 200 g plain flour
- 2 egg
- 125 ml vegetable oil
- 85 g white sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
- 100 g carrot grated
- 25 g walnuts chopped
Fo the filling
- 125 g cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon icing sugar
Instructions
- To make the muffins, sift the flour in a large bowl, add the baking powder, ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and walnuts.
- In a separate bowl, mix the sugar with eggs and oil.
- Grate the carrots and squeeze out the excess liquid.
- Mix all the ingredients together to get the batter - this should not be thick nor runny.
- To make the filling, mix the cream cheese with vanilla extract and sugar.
- Grease and flour a muffin tin, then spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each hole, top with 1 or 2 teaspoons of filling - we should still leave about half of the filling for later.
- Cover the filling with the remaining batter, and bake the muffins in the preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit) for 15-20 minutes, or until the muffins are firm to touch and golden on top.
- Remove from the oven, and leave to cool.
- Add the remaining cream cheese to a piping bag fitted with a small nozzle, and pipe more filling into the centre of each muffin.
