Lemon-Iced Carrot Muffins

No-one in our family is very talkative at breakfast time. On a weekday that is. It suits me perfectly as the breakfast cakes and muffins that I bake the night before for my sweet-tooth husband are at stake. If husband mumbles a “Those ones are really nice!” before 7am in the morning, then they are.
So it happened with these carrot muffins. An old recipe from my own blog that I reviewed and tried to improve a little.
No sugar is needed as these muffins are sweetened with dried dates. I used olive instead of vegetable oil. And I added flax meal for further nutritional value, that would in return justify a little indulgent lemon icing drizzle. Bon appetit!

In a food processor, combine yogurt and chopped dates. Combine with egg mixture.

Mix dry and wet ingredients until just combined fold in grated carrots and seeds. Spoon batter into muffin tins. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until inserted toothpick come out clean. Let cool completely on wire racks before frosting.

Frosting
Mix icing sugar and lemon juice together until it becomes a creamy paste. Drizzle over the cooled muffins. Let the frosting become solid before serving.
