These Thermomix Mini Carrot and Walnut Cakes make a great snack for the whole family and are freezer friendly too!
This recipe has quickly become a family favourite, with both the boys and my husband and I enjoying them. I don’t bother with icing these Thermomix Mini Carrot and Walnut Cakes as I think they are a yummy treat all on their own, however if you have a sweet tooth or want to be extra indulgent, you can easily top them with cream cheese frosting.
If you don’t have a mini loaf tin (I got mine from K-mart) then you can also use a regular muffin tin for this recipe. If you have any leftovers (which is rare in our house!) simply wrap them securely in cling wrap and pop into the freezer for an easy snack.
