Instructions

Heat the oven to 180C / 350F electric or 160C / 320F fan. Line a muffin pan with paper cups or grease a silicone muffin pan.
Blend the eggs, softened butter and bananas until thoroughly combined.
Mix in the ground almonds, flaxseed, spices, vanilla, sweetener and baking powder.
Lastly, gently stir in the grated carrot and the walnuts.
Spoon the dough into the muffin pan and bake them in the oven on the middle shelf for 30 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
For the frosting, beat the cream cheese with powdered sweetener. Spread onto the muffins once these are fully cooled.

Make sure the carrots are grated and not ground to a pulp, which essentially separates the liquid from the fibre. This was the mistake I made in my first attempt!

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Or, freeze for up to 3 months without frosting.
