Directions
I’m not going to lie I’m rather partial to a good slice of carrot cakes but just a wee slice can really knock up your syn count. So naturally the playing around to create a healthy alternative began. Low fat and sugar free, what more can you ask for in a cake… Oh yeah they taste great! These also have the added little bonus of containing some speed food as well
They are great as they are but for a little extra something I made a topping to put on mine. I mixed quark with a little sweetener and a splash of lemon juice and topped the cakes with it. Enjoy! Xoxo

Start by putting your weetabix, sweetener and spices into a blender and blitz down to a fine powder |
2
Done
|
Next you will need to separate your eggs. Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks |
3
Done
|
You will then need to add half your grated carrot, your egg yolks and your milk into the blender and blitz it all down |
4
Done
|
Add your mix along with your remaining grated carrot into your egg whites and try to gently fold it in until it is well mixed. Then you can just spoon it into your cupcake cases and cook for 20-25mins on 180°. Once cooked allow your cakes to cool. |

2 eggs, sorry about that i have recently changed the website for emily and needed to rewrite everything so sorry for missing that out. all updated now.
Hi, how many cakes is the mixture supposed to make please?
Hey Sweet, It makes around 5-6 xx
Hi, if I don’t use weetabix as a healthy b how many syns are they? I love carrot cake
Hey sweet, 2 Weetabix not using your healthy extra will be 6 syns xx
I’ve tried to make this twice now. First time they were raw still so I thought cut down milk and use paper muffin cases instead of the silicon ones. Second batch still raw after half an hour
Hi I’ve just made some of these. Is that 6 syns for all of them? Plus what have you used for the topping? Thank you
Yes Sweet, its 6 syns for the 2 weetabix if you are not using your healthy extra B, if you do use your healthy extra on these cakes then it will be syn free xx

What is quark?
Perhaps Google your question?
I’m so sorry i didn’t see your post until someone replied to it. ( must have slipped through the cracks 🙁 ) Quark is a fat free soft cheese.
