Here are the preparation instructions to make Niomi’s delicious Carrot Cake Muffins:
Start by preheating the oven to 175C.
Then:
- Mix the chia seeds and water together and set aside.
- Remove the stones from the dates and use the back of a fork to mash them into a paste.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the other ingredients (apart from the chia seeds) and keeping some crushed walnuts and grated carrots aside for decoration at the end.
- Stir in the date paste and the chia seed mixture into the bowl.
- Spoon into muffin cases and bake for 30 minutes. Makes approx. 9 muffins.
If you want to add a topping, then first let these muffins cool down to room temperature.
