Ingredients

Muffins:

  • Your favorite carrot banana muffin recipe

Frosting:

  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1-2 tsp stevia (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tbs vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the muffins: Follow your go-to recipe for carrot banana muffins. Bake them until they’re golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Make the frosting: While the muffins are cooling, blend together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, stevia, and vanilla extract until you reach your desired consistency. If the frosting is too thin, add a bit more cream cheese to thicken it up.
  3. Frost the muffins: Once the muffins have cooled, spread the frosting generously on top of each one.
  4. Serve and enjoy: These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for later. They’re the perfect snack to savor as you watch the leaves fall and the season turn.

There’s something truly magical about baking during the fall season. These carrot banana muffins with cream cheese frosting are sure to hit the spot and bring a taste of autumn to your kitchen. Happy baking!
