With so so many carrots remaining from our veggie box, I really needed a way to use them up. After some googling, I came across a healthier version of carrot cake. Unfortunately, I think the recipe was *too* healthy. I wasn’t in love with these muffins and they turned out to be more of a cream cheese icing transportation system. Not bad, not ideal. I wonder if more flax would have helped?  I think a bit more spice was needed too - they were a tad plain.

I didn’t use their icing recipe instead I went for this:

• 1 package light cream cheese
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 tsp brown sugar
• dash of ginger
• 1/4 cup icing sugar
• Candied ginger pieces for decoration

Boyfriendly rating: 3/5  Edible, but not quite right.

We did use up our carrots!
