Carrot Cake Muffins


Today was my day off from work and after my lovely colleague Penny had printed me some new Slimming World recipes to try it was hard to resist giving a couple of them a go. So here is the first one: Carrot Cake Muffins.

Ingredients
3 medium eggs
6 Tbsp granulated sweetener
85g Wholemeal self raising flour
2 Tsp ground mixed spice
170g Grated Carrot
200g Quark
Sweetener (to taste)
1 Tsp Vanilla Essence

Method
1: Preheat your oven to 180/Gas Mark 4.
2: Place 8 muffin cases into a muffin tray. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and sweetener until the mix is frothy. Sieve the flour and ground mixed spice into the mix. adding the husks that are left behind in the sieve. Add the carrot and fold together.
3: Spoon the mixture into the 8 muffin cases and bake for 20 minutes or until golden and firm. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to allow them to coll down.
4: Mix together the Quark, sweetener and vanilla essence, and top the muffins with the mixture. Place your completed muffins into the fridge until you are ready to eat them.

These are great little treats and are fantastic for your Slimming World diet at only 1.5 syns per muffin!!!
