Healthier Easter Cupcakes

For the Cupcakes
 1 cup Wholemeal flour
 1 tsp Baking powder
 1 tsp Cinnamon
 ½ tsp Nutmeg
 ¼ cup Coconut oil, melted
 1 Egg
 ½ cup Low-fat Greek yoghurt
 ½ cup Maple syrup
 1 cup Carrot, grated
 ¼ cup Walnuts, chopped
For the Icing
 120 g Low fat cream cheese
 1 tsp Vanilla essence
 1 cup Icing sugar
 2 tsp Pink sugar
 6 Marshmallows

1

Preheat the oven using the fan-forced setting to 220°C. Line a 6 hole muffin tin with cupcake cases.

2

In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg.

3

Add the coconut oil, egg, yoghurt and maple syrup. Mix until well combined.

4

Fold through the carrot and walnuts.

5

Divide the mixture between the cupcake cases and bake for 20 minutes at 220°C or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool before icing.

6

For the icing beat the cream cheese and vanilla together until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy.

7

To assemble the cupcakes spread a generous dollop of icing on each. Cut the marshmallows in half and dip the sliced end in sugar to create the ‘bunny ears’, then place two on each cupcake.
