Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and line a muffin tray with 12 paper cases. Drain the pineapple, reserving the juice, then crush the flesh with a fork. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Beat the eggs, melted butter and yogurt together and pour into the bowl, along with the carrot and pineapple. Stir quickly, then spoon into muffin cases and bake for 18 mins or until risen and golden. Can be frozen at this stage for up to a month.
  2. To decorate, mix the creamed coconut with 5 tbsp pineapple juice and stir in the icing sugar. Put the desiccated coconut onto a plate or tray. Peel the muffins from their cases and put on a rack. Spread the icing over until completely covered (this can get a bit messy), then roll in the coconut. Leave to dry for a few mins. Pipe a carrot on the top of each muffin using the writing icing, with strips of angelica as stalks.

    I just made these for my daughters lunch box. I used peaches instead of pineapple and baking pdr instead of soda but they still worked. The coconut flavour is quite strong so I think I'd use less of that next time but the carrots and peaches are well disguised so I hope they'll go down well. Extremely easy to make.

    These did not rise very well for me. Don't know where I went wrong. However, the icing is delicious! (it took me a while to work out what to do with the creamed coconut. I grated it in the end.) The kids wolfed them down at teatime anyway, but they'll eat anything if you cover it in icing!
