Low calorie carrot cake muffins

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 200ºC (392ºF). Line a 6-count muffin tray with cupcake/muffin liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, yogurt, applesauce, vanilla extract and 0 calorie brown sugar until smooth.

Step 3

Add the flour, spices, baking powder and salt and whisk to combine. Fold in the grated carrots until well combined.

Step 4

Divide the batter equally between the 6 liners and bake for 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the muffin comes out clean or with very few crumbs. Allow the muffins to cool on a cooling rack.

Step 5

In the meantime, make the glaze by whisking together the 0 calorie icing sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth.

Step 6

Glaze the cooled muffins and top with crushed nuts (optional). Serve and enjoy!
