- 150 rørsukker
- 100 g brun farin
- 200 g blødt smør
- 4 æg
- 250 g hvedemel
- 2 tsk. stødt kanel
- 1 tsk. bagepulver

Muffins
Tænd ovnen på 175° varmluft.
Pisk rørsukker, brun farin og blødt smør sammen i en skål ved hjælp af en elpisker. Tilsæt æg, et efter et, og pisk til massen bliver luftig. Tilsæt så mel, kanel, bagepulver, natron og salt, og pisk det sammen til en dej.
Riv gulerøddernee, og rør det i dejen.
Fordel dejen i 15-20 muffinsforme, alt efter deres størrelse. Læg gerne muffinformene dobbelt, og placér dem evt. i en fast muffinform i metal.
Bag muffinsene i 12-15 minutter, til de er flot hævede og let gyldne. Tjek evt. med en tandstik, at de er gennembagt i midten.
Lad muffinsene køle af.
OSTECREME
Riv skal og pres saft af citronen. Kom alle ingredienserne i en skål, og pisk dem sammen med en elpisker, til du får en luftig og cremet konsistens. Pas på med at piske alt for længe, så cremen bliver fast eller grynet.
Fordel ostecremen på dine muffins. Brug evt. en sprøjtepose med stjernetyl til at gøre arbejdet, og ellers kan det smøres på med en kniv.
Pynt evt. med lidt spiselige blomsterblade, krymmel eller andet pænt, og servér.

Cream cheese, mascarpone and lemon
The cream cheese is a lovely cream cheese cream that you add mascarpone to and flavor with lemon juice and zest and sweeten with powdered sugar. Mascarpone is an Italian cream cheese that you can find in most supermarkets. It is not as sour as cream cheese and has a creamier consistency, which gives a really delicious and more airy cream. If you can't get your hands on mascarpone, you can replace it with extra cream cheese and cream. This means that your cream cheese is made from:
- 150g mascarpone
- 150 g cream cheese
- 1 dl cream
- zest and juice of 0.5 unzipped lemon
- 50 g powdered sugar
Put all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until you get a creamy and fluffy consistency.

Carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting
The cream cheese frosting is used as a frosting, which is spread on each muffin using a piping bag and star tip. It looks really nice - especially when decorated with some edible flowers or other decorations. For example, you can give them a sprinkle of edible glitter or decorate with a toasted walnut. However, the height of the fine cream cheese frosting makes carrot cupcakes a bit difficult to transport.
TIP: Try the recipe for brownie muffins with raspberry mousse or low Cookies with edible flowers.

Tips for the best carrot muffins
Below you will find tips for achieving the best result and variation options.
- You can grate the carrots either very finely or coarsely, depending on your preference.
